Cops release image of man over common assault involving baby
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to after a common assault involving baby.
Police have confirmed that the baby was not physically harmed.
The mother of the baby explained to police that a man had approached her while she was waiting for a lift in a central London hospital and touched the baby while they were waiting for the lift.
She had asked him to stop, which he did, and he then left the building.
Detective Inspector Fiona Fraser said: “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.
“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.”
Officers are investigating this as a common assault and have provided support to the family of the baby after the report was made on March 22, one day after the incident.
The Met are urging anyone with information to call 101, quoting CAD2533/22MAR23 or Crimestoppers to remain anonymous on 0800 555 111.
