Police
have released this CCTV image of a bus pervert, who played with
himself while sitting next to a teenage girl.
The
Metropolitan Police's Safer Transport Command Sexual Offences Team
hope the suspect can be identified and arrested.
He
deliberately sat next to the 19 year-old after boarding the 358 bus,
which was travelling between Orpington and Penge on May 7.
The
man began touching himself indecently and the teen got off the bus
and contacted the police.
The
suspect is described as a scruffy black man, aged between 30-40
years, wearing dark tracksuit bottoms, a dark jacket and Nike
trainers.
Anyone
with information is urged to contact Detective Constable Anna
Deighton on 020 7421 1074 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555
111.
DC
Deighton said: "I would like to reassure passengers that these
types of incidents are rare.
“We
do not tolerate unwanted sexual behaviour on the transport network
and we take all sexual offences very seriously.
"If
someone has made you feel uncomfortable, for example touched you in
an inappropriate manner, please tell the police or a member of our
staff.
“It
will help them to not only target the perpetrator, but also help
prevent it happening to someone else."
