Woman left 'traumatised' after four men try and pull her into their car

A woman in her 20s has been left "traumatised" after a man tried to drag a her into his car in an attempted kidnap.

The woman was walking home in Lambeth, south London, when she noticed a hatchback car stop next to her with four men inside.

One of the occupants tried to pull her into the car but she managed to fight him off and was only slightly injured.

The man then got back into the car and they left in the Balham direction.

All four men are described as Asian. 

The man who tried to drag her into the car is described as being of slim build and in his late 20s.

It happened in Clapham Common South Side at the Elms Road junction at 4am on Sunday August 30.

The victim has been left traumatised by the events of that day.

The incident happened in the early hours of the morning but there would have been other vehicles in the vicinity as this is a busy area.

Enquires continue to identify the vehicle and occupants and anyone with information no matter how small is asked to contact us.

Any information will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
