Police are hunting a male suspect after a woman was sexually assaulted on board a train in east London.

The assault happened on a train travelling between Stratford and Ilford.

A woman was touched inappropriately below the waist by a man she did not know.

It was on a busy service, and the victim moved away. But the man followed her and “continued to be inappropriate”, British Transport Police said.

It happened at about 5.25pm on December 11.

The force has now released an image of a man it would like to speak to.

Anyone with information is asked to call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 425 of December 11, 2018. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
