Pervert who revealed his pants to woman Tube passenger is hunted by police

Holborn London Underground Station - (John Stillwell/PA)

A pervert who exposed his underwear to a woman on a Tube platform is being sought by detectives.

British Transport Police appealed for the victim to come forward following reports of sexual harassment.

The man had been smoking as he waited for a train at Holborn Underground station in central London.

He approached a woman showing off his pants at around 12.45pm on Tuesday, January 13.

It is believed the suspect then boarded a Picadilly line train towards King’s Cross, when he approached another woman the carriage and made sexual comments towards her.

A force spokesman said: “When she left the train at King’s Cross Underground station, he followed her off of the train before eventually leaving.

“Officers would like to speak to the women targeted by the man, as well as anyone who may have witnessed the incident take place.”

Anyone who saw what happened is asked to text BTP on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 11 of 14 January.

They can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
