Police in London have released a CCTV image of a knife-wielding man wanted for forcing two teenage boys to have a fight, steal from a shop and perform a sex act on each other.
The suspect approached the pair of teenagers on a bus in Brixton, London, shortly before 8pm on Wednesday night of last week.
He told them he had a knife and forced them to get off the route 133 service in the Elephant and Castle area.
There, he led them to a park in Newington Butts, where he made them fight each other and steal from a nearby shop.
He then led them to the stairwell of a block of flats, where he forced one of the boys to perform a sex act on the other, before walking off.
Trainee Detective Constable Amy Beautridge said: "This was a most unusual crime and distressing crime, during which the two young victims were terrified by threats made by the suspect, who intimated he was in possession of a knife.
"He used their fear to control them and force them to effectively do as he said.
"Despite their young age, the victims have been incredibly brave in coming forward and providing information to the police and I would praise them for this.”
