Police searching for man who approached mother and baby in hospital

Police are on the hunt for a man who approached a mother and her baby at Guy’s Hospital.

On March 21, the man in question approached the woman and her child. As the mother was waiting for the lift, the man then touched the baby.

“She had asked him to stop, which he did, and he then left the building. This was clearly extremely concerning for the mother and we are trying to establish the full facts.

“There are no further incidents of a similar nature which have been reported to us, and we are hoping this man will come forward to speak with us, or someone else may come forward with information,” detective inspector Fiona Fraser said.

The baby was not physically harmed but the police have released an image of a man they want to speak to following the incident.

“Our enquiries have led us to believe that this man may be able to assist the investigation and we are releasing the image as we have not been able to identify him so far,” DI Fraser added.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting CAD2533/22MAR23.
