Police have released an image of a man they want to identify following an incident of sexual assault on board a bus in Lewisham.
The incident happened at around 05:15hrs on Saturday, 6 May on the top deck of a route 136 bus.
A woman had boarded the bus in New Cross Gate and took a seat towards the back of the top deck. Around five minutes later, a man boarded the bus and sat opposite her.
He then exposed himself. As the woman got up to move away the man sexually assaulted her.
The man was described as wearing a black ski mask/balaclava, a black beanie hat with black puffer jacket.
Detective Constable Charlotte Joseph from the Met’s Road and Transport Policing Command said:
“I would urge anyone who recognises the person in this image to get in contact with us immediately. The woman who was attacked, while not physically harmed, was understandably left distressed by this incident and we need to find the person responsible.”
Anyone who can help police is asked to call 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC and quote CAD3560/6May. You can also provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
There has been no arrest and enquiries continue.
