British Transport Police Urge Public Help to ID Suspect
Detectives hunting a man after a woman was sexually assaulted on a London Underground platform have released pictures of the suspect. The horrifying attack happened at Eastcote station in Hillingdon, West London, just after 6pm on Monday, January 12.

Anyone who recognises this man is urged to come forward immediately.
