Fifteen Year-Old Schoolgirl Molested On Bus: CCTV Released

Police are hunting this suspected bus pervert who a 15 year-old schoolgirl says groped her thigh after sitting next to her on the top deck.

At around 9.00am on Friday, January 12, the victim boarded the 149 bus at London Bridge, Southwark and sat on the upper deck towards the front.

A short while after, a man got on the bus and sat directly next to the girl.

He then sexually touched her thigh.

The suspect is described as a white man, aged in his thirties, around 5ft 9ins tall, of skinny build and with short, light brown hair.

He was wearing a dark, wool waist-length coat with a fur hood and light blue jeans.

Detective Constable James Eccleston, from the Metropolitan Police's Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “This assault, which took place in broad daylight, has left this young girl shaken and upset.

“If you were on that bus, or know who this man is, please get in touch.”

If you can identify this man, or offer any information to assist the investigation, please contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC.
