British Transport Police (BTP) have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to after a sexual incident on the London Overground. The suspect allegedly masturbated while staring at a female passenger on a late-night service.
Incident Details
The incident occurred on the Lioness line between Euston and Watford Junction shortly after midnight on Tuesday, June 16. The man touched himself while making eye contact with the victim, who was sitting opposite him.
BTP stated: “Detectives would like to speak to the man pictured, as they believe he may have information which could help their investigation.”
Suspect Description
The man is described as South Asian, of slim build, with short black hair, a moustache, and a beard. He was wearing a grey puffer-style jacket, blue jeans, and carrying a blue and yellow backpack.
Officers are urging anyone who recognises him to contact BTP. In a separate incident, police are also investigating a sexual assault on the Piccadilly line, where a man boarded an eastbound train at Knightsbridge and stood next to a woman despite available space, then assaulted her. The victim shouted at him.
