Female Passenger Groped On Underground: Do You Know This Man?

A female tube train passenger was groped by a mystery man who reached behind himself and touched her.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released this image of the suspect they are looking for to question regarding the incident.

They are appealing for members of the public to assist in identifying him.

At 1.30pm on Saturday, December 17, last year a woman boarded a Central Line westbound service at Bethnal Green and stood behind a male passenger.

The male then reached behind him and sexually assaulted her. 

When another passenger challenged his behaviour, he moved away from the victim and got off the train at Tottenham Court Road.

Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.

If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 185 of 17/12/22.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
