A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of carrying out a series of sexual assaults in London.

"On each occasion, the women were approached by a lone male who sexually assaulted them before fleeing the scene," a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said.

"All of those assaulted are women; none have been injured during the incidents."
