Police
hunting a bus pervert who flashed a 14 year-old schoolgirl after she
refused to give her number, have released this CCTV image.
Detectives
from the Metropolitan Police's Roads and Transport Policing Command
want to identify the suspect.
At
3.13pm on Wednesday, September 12, last year the victim, dressed in
her school uniform, was travelling on a route 473 bus on Plaistow
Road, heading towards Stratford, east London.
She
was sitting in an aisle seat on the top deck to the left.
She
noticed the suspect, who was sitting on the right-hand side of the
bus, staring at two other young girls.
The
suspect then drew his attention to the victim, and proceeded to make
eye contact with her and silently mouthed a request for her phone
number.
The
victim informed the suspect of her age and asked him to leave her
alone.
He
then stood up and exposed himself to her.
The
victim was very frightened and quickly moved to the lower deck of the
bus.
The
suspect then got off the bus at Paul Street.
He
is described as a black man, aged in his 40's, around 5ft 10ins tall,
with a gold bottom tooth.
At
the time of the incident he was wearing a blue checked shirt, a black
bomber jacket and dark-coloured trousers.
Detective
Sergeant Eddie Coleman, who leads the investigation, said: "This
was an appalling act against a young girl, who was left shaken and
distressed by the attack.
"I
would urge anyone who recognises the man in these pictures to contact
police immediately."
Anyone
who knows this man, or has any information on his whereabouts, is
urged to call police on 101 quoting CAD4698/12SEP2018. You can also
tweet @MetCC with information.
Alternatively,
you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
