British Transport Police (BTP) have launched a public appeal after a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at Milton Keynes railway station in the early hours of Saturday, May 17, 2025.
The disturbing incident occurred between 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., during a typically quiet period at the busy station. BTP detectives are urgently seeking to identify a man captured on CCTV footage, who may have vital information about the attack.
Where Did the Assault Happen?
The assault occurred at Milton Keynes Central railway station, a major transport hub in Buckinghamshire that links the town to London, Birmingham, and other key destinations. Police believe the incident happened in a less-trafficked part of the station, reducing the likelihood of immediate witnesses.
