Police are hunting a pervert who exposed himself in front of two teenage girls and then spent 40 minutes pleasuring himself on a public train.

Today British Transport Police released this photo of a man they believe may have information about the May 31 incident, which left the pair "incredibly distressed".

Detectives said the man in question began his sex act at about 7.15pm - 35 minutes after the train left King's Cross.

It continued until the slow service reached Peterborough, where all three left the train. The horrified girls reported the man to transport police, but they were unable to find the man despite searching the station.

Sgt Becky Fryer said the trio were sat in the front carriage of the train.

"This was an incredibly distressing incident for the two girls and something that nobody should have to experience," she said.

"We take all reports of unwanted sexual behaviour very seriously and are working hard to catch the person responsible for this crime.

"We need to urgently trace the man pictured, as we believe he will be able to greatly assist us with our enquiries."

Anyone with information is asked to call transport police on 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting reference M/B9 of June 12. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
