A 19-year-old man has been arrested following a spate of violent sexual attacks in Hendon.

The man was arrested yesterday for attempted rape and is currently in custody at a north London police station.

Barnet Police tweeted at 12.53am this morning that they had arrested a suspect.

Women yesterday told the Times Series they are avoiding the area close to Hendon Central tube station, out of fear the attacker or attackers will strike again.
