Police are appealing for any leads on a man wanted in connection with the rape of a teenage girl in Oxfordshire.

Investigating officer DI Becky Sargeant said: ‘We are urgently appealing for the public’s help in locating James Doran.

‘It is important that if you see him,please do not approach him,and instead call 999.’

Earlier this month,police launched a manhunt after a woman was ‘repeatedly sexually assaulted’ on a train to Vauxhall.

The woman was aboard a South Western Railway train when she was assaulted between Barnes Bridge and Vauxhall at around 4.40 pm on May 13.

Her attacker then alighted at the busy Central London station and is yet to be tracked down.

British Transport Police (BTP) released a CCTV image in the hopes that someone could identify a person of interest.

The footage shows a white man with a bald head and a dark beard,wearing a black hoodie and a black t-shirt featuring a tiger’s head.
