Police Hunt Bus Pervert Who Groped Woman on Route 38

Just before 10pm on 30 July, a predator struck on a London bus. The suspect boarded a Route 38 bus near Tottenham Court Road minutes before his victim, a 26-year-old woman. He had already been harassing other female passengers.

As the woman walked past him, the tall, braids-wearing man reached out and sexually touched her. Thanks to the quick-thinking bus driver who called the cops, the suspect fled the scene.
