Woman allegedly sexually assaulted on a bus
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to after a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted on a bus.
The assault happened at around 5.15am, on May 6, on the top deck of a route 136 bus in Lewisham.
A woman had boarded the bus in New Cross Gate and took a seat towards the back of the top deck.
About five minutes later, a man boarded the bus and sat opposite her.
He then allegedly exposed himself. As the woman got up to move away from the man he sexually assaulted her.
The man has been described as wearing a black ski mask, a black beanie hat and a black puffer jacket.
Detective Constable Charlotte Joseph 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.”
The Met confirmed that no arrests have been made at this point and enquiries continue.
A spokeswoman from the Met said: “Anyone who can help police is asked to call 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC and quote CAD3560/6May.
