Thames Valley Police have launched an urgent appeal after two sexual assaults and a stalking incident linked to Slough's busy London Line 702 bus.
%%UKNIP_ANCHOR_0%% images have been released showing a man who officers believe may hold crucial information. The incidents happened in January, %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_1%%, and May 2025, sparking public concern across Berkshire.

On 2 May, the same %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_3%% tried to sit beside the victim. After being blocked, he later followed her off the bus on Wellington %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_4%% and tried to engage her in conversation, causing her significant distress. Thankfully, a passerby intervened, and the %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_5%% was able to escape safely.
