Police Have Issued An Image Of A Man They Want To Identify After A Woman Was Sexually Assaulted On A Bus In Wallington
At approximately 7.15pm on Thursday, 18 August, a woman was sitting on a
route 455 bus at Barnard Close.
A man, who had boarded the bus, sat next to her and stroked her leg. The
woman challenged the man and moved seats, before the suspect got off the
bus.
Detective Inspector Jonathan Potter, from the Met’s Roads and Transport
Policing Command, said: “I am appealing to anyone who recognises the man in
this picture to come forward and speak to police. We need the help of the
public to identify this man so that he cannot carry out any further attacks
on women.
“The bus network is an extremely safe place for people to travel, but when
incidents like this occur, we will utilise all available evidence to ensure
those who choose to carry out criminal acts are identified and put before
the courts.”
There has been no arrests and enquiries continue.
