Tracksuited Suspected Pervert Wanted By Transport Police

A female train passenger, travelling on a service through West Sussex with her young daughter, reported a mystery male to police for indecently pleasuring himself in the carriage.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released this image of the unknown man they would like to speak to.

They are requesting the assistance of the public to help identify him.

On the evening of Wednesday, April 1 the woman was on the train with her child, travelling between London Victoria and Horsham.

They went to use the toilet when the mother saw a man, who was seated and appeared to be asleep. 

He had his hand down his trousers and appeared to be masturbating.

Officers believe the man in the image could have information that may assist their enquiries.

Anyone who recognises him is asked to text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 758 of 1 April.

Information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
