Woman sexually assaulted on Tube during rush hour

Police have released this image in connection with an investigation - (British Transport Police)

A woman was sexually assaulted on the Tube last month when she was travelling during rush hour.

On November 11, a Tuesday, a woman on the District line noticed a man was staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable. She had boarded the train at West Ham at 5.27pm.

When the train arrived at Upton park three minutes later, the man sexually assaulted her as she got off the train.

The British Transport Police (BTP) have just released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to.

A BTP spokesperson said: “Detectives would like to speak to the man in the image who they believe may have information that could help their investigation.

“Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference number 584 of 11 November.

“Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
