Docklands Light Railway Passengers Halt Sexual Assaults On Female

A sex attack on a female Docklands Light Railway (DLR) passenger by a mystery male was only interrupted when two other train users stepped in.

At approximately 10.30pm on Friday, May 29 the woman was on the platform at Canary Wharf when a man approached and began to sexually harass her.

He then followed her onto the DLR service and sat next to her.

As she tried to move away he grabbed onto her and sexually assaulted her, refusing to let her go.

The man only stopped when two other passengers came over to help and he eventually got off the train at King George V station.

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

Detectives would like to speak to the man pictured, as they believed he may have information that could help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 153 of 2 June.

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