The alarm was first raised last Friday, after a woman walking at around 4am in Sisters Avenue, near Clapham Common, noticed a man with a knife following her. Two days later, at 1.40am in Sumburgh Road, also near Clapham Common, a man approached a woman and grabbed her but she managed to escape. Just 50 minutes later, police saw a man on Clapham Common, near Holy Trinity Church, approaching women. The Clapham Common area is still remembered as the place where Sarah Everard disappeared when she was kidnapped and murdered by police officer Wayne Couzens as she walked home on 3 March 2021.
