Woman wearing hijab attacked on bus in west London

A woman wearing a hijab was attacked in a “religiously-aggravated assault” on a bus in west London, police have said.

The victim was approached by a man on a bus leaving Westfield Shopping Centre in White City shortly after 10.30pm on November 27, 2022.

The man, aged in his 40s, began to speak to her. Despite the women asking him to stop, he proceeded to make further unwanted comments before then assaulting the victim.

The man then got off the 207 bus in Uxbridge Road near the town hall. The woman did not need hospital treatment.

Detectives from the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command have carried out a number of enquiries, including a review of CCTV from the bus.

They are now appealing for information in order to track down the suspect.
