Train Creep Hunted For Sexual Assault

A female train passenger was deliberately targeted by a mystery male, who sat next to her and sexually assaulted her.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released this image of their suspect.

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

Between 7.10pm and 7.40pm on Saturday, February 24 the victim was travelling on a train from Woolwich Arsenal to Cannon Street.

She was approached by a man who sat next to her. 

He stared at her before sexually assaulting her and verbally harassing her.

The woman left the service at London Bridge with the man following her onto the platform before reboarding the train towards Cannon Street.

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

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 783 of 24 February 2024.

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
