Thornton Heath Man Caught Stroking Himself on Bromley Bus
Mohammed Faqe, 33, from Thornton Heath, was found guilty of outraging public decency on a Bromley bus. The disturbing act happened on the 119 bus earlier this year, sparking outrage and concern among passengers.
Gross Display on Two Bus Trips
Faqe was accused of touching and stroking his penis over his clothes in front of fellow travellers on two separate occasions – May 10 and June 19. Despite his claim that he was just scratching himself, the court wasn’t convinced.
Convicted for May Incident, Acquitted for June
During the trial at Bromley Magistrates’ Court, Faqe admitted to the behaviour but insisted it wasn’t inappropriate. On November 8, he was convicted for the first offence on May 10 but acquitted of the June 19 charge.
Banned From 119 Bus Ahead of Sentencing
Now out on bail, Faqe must avoid the 119 bus route while awaiting sentencing in December. The court’s ruling sends a strong warning about public decency and zero tolerance for lewd acts on public transport.
The local community is bracing for the final sentencing to bring closure to this unsettling saga.
