Sex Pest Wanted For Striking On Four Buses

This suspected bus sex offender, who left women passengers “frightened and violated,” is being hunted by the police.

He is believed to have struck on four different buses in north and east London during a two-month span last year.

At 1.30pm on Tuesday, September 11 on a route 253 bus near Camden Road Station, Camden.

At 7.43pm on Wednesday, November 21 on a route 149 bus near St Leonard’s Hospital, Islington.

At 11.58pm on Saturday, November 23 on a route 91 bus near King's Cross Station, King's Cross.

At 7.46pm on Tuesday, November 13 on a route 38 bus near Hackney Central Station, Hackney.

In the first three cases, the suspect sexually assaulted the victims.

The fourth offence was one of outraging public decency.

The women are aged between 19 and 31 years-old.

Detectives have released this CCTV footage recovered from a bus showing images of the man they are appealing to the public to identify.

The suspect is described as a black man, aged between 25 and 35 years-old, around 6ft tall with short black hair.

Detective Constable Clare Beauchamp, from the Metropolitan Police's Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “These incidents have left the victims feeling very frightened and violated.

“I am appealing to the public to help identify and locate this man as quickly as possible.

“Although none of the victims have suffered physical injury, the effects of becoming a victim of sexual assault can be lasting and traumatic.”

If you can identify this man, or offer any information to assist the investigation, please contact police on 101 and quote CAD5629/20JAN19 or tweet @MetCC.
