A furious woman has confronted a man who allegedly sexually assaulted her on a London bus.

Police have released a fresh image of a man they want to speak to after the woman was reportedly touched inappropriately from behind while travelling on Wood Green High Road.

The alleged attack happened on a route 144 bus at 3.20pm on June 19.

The victim is said to have walked after the man, grabbed him by the collar and said: “What do you think you’re doing?”

Another passenger then shouted: "Don’t touch her," after which the suspect is believed to have turned around and struck the victim on the left side of her face, hitting her glasses.

The man is described as white and aged between 35 and 45 years old.

He is said to be approximately 6ft tall with short mousey hair which was turning grey and blue/grey eyes.

He was wearing a white collared shirt with a grey jumper or hooded top at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information about the man or any information about the incident is urged to contact Detective Constable Gavin Staplehurst in the Roads and Transport Policing Command via 101.

Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.
