Police are hunting a man over a late-night sex attack on a woman at a bus stop in central London.

The 31-year-old victim was attacked as she waited at a bus stop outside the Delaunay Restaurant in Aldwych shortly after midnight, police said.

Her attacker sat down extremely close to her and made her feel uncomfortable before sexually assaulting her.

Police said he then followed her onto a route 168 bus and shouted at her aggressively.
