Hunt for minicab 'rape' driver

Police are hunting for an alleged minicab rapist believed to be prowling the streets of London.

Mohammed Ahmadi, 33, is alleged to have assaulted a 31-year-old woman in Beckenham after she fell asleep in the back of his car. The woman claims she awoke to find the driver raping her.

Detectives are now desperate to find Ahmadi, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan who was granted leave to remain in Britain.

He dresses smartly, sometimes in a collar and tie, and police believe he is still operating as a minicab driver, possibly using a false name.

Officers are asking anyone who sees Ahmadi to dial 999 immediately.
