Hello All,
A female member of staff was sexually attacked last night walking from crouch end to the Dairy, just before couch hill station.
It happened at about 1am. The man was Asian, about 5ft 6 he had short dark hair and was wearing jeans and a big shiny white puffa jacket (possibly with red stitching).
There were a couple with a bike just down the road who she ran past, if anybody can help with information for the police we would be so grateful.
The member of staff managed to shout and run away with a few scratches but the attack was very serious and this man needs to be bought to justice.
Obviously this is yet another reason why people, particularly women should not walk alone at night.
Thank you.
Hannah

I'm not sure if this happened after she had finished a shift, as your message seems to state that she was walking from Crouch Hill to the Old Dairy at 1am. A practical step your pub could take to prevent this in the future is to provide a taxi for your workers if working late at night. It wouldn't cost much if they live in the surrounding area ( one taxi for all your staff would probably be less than £10). I used to work in bar and we were provided with this service if we worked past midnight.
kreuskav- she was working in a pub in crouch end that night but you are of course right, we already have a voucher system set up with a local firm which the staff can use but it's not a perfect system and we'll certainly improve it looking forward.
@katiejane I think you are really missing the point here (and some empathy). Who cares about vocab - a girl has been attacked and that is horrible.
I shall be informing my female flatmate of these incidents. I do worry about women on their own late at night, most of my friends are female. Most often they are safe, but it is when these kinds of attacks are close to home that you are reminded that anybody can become a victim. Stay safe.
With parkland walk, Im going to assume the police know, Since the park police moved out of the park there hasnt been much patrol to be honest .. But parkland walk from frinsbury park end to queens wood is filled with stories that woulod make it unsafe .. I have 2 rottweillers, to which you would think someone very brave woulod need to do something in order to think these wouldnt attack.. But still they exposed themselves freely .. and this is in broad dayloght also, at 5-6 in the afternoon .. I try not to walk my dogs later than that cause i think the feeling changes in the park/parkland walk area..
