A young woman commuter was sexually assaulted on a bus in south-east London by a man police believe is still at large.

Scotland Yard on Tuesday released a pair of CCTV pictures showing a man they say may have information about the attack, which happened on the 320 bus in Bromley.

It took place as the bus headed down in Bromley Road at about 8.30am on March 23.

“The suspect is described as a black man who wore a grey flat cap, black jacket, dark coloured jeans and was carrying a laptop bag,” said a Met spokesman.

The first CCTV picture shows a man seen on the 320 bus at the time the victim, 21, was assaulted.

And the second was taken in June on a number 198 travelling from West Croydon bus station to the Shrublands Estate.

“Although no offence was reported to have taken place at this time,” the spokesman added, “officers believe this could be a better likeness of how the man may look like now.

“Unwanted sexual behaviour on the transport network is not tolerated and all sexual offences are taken very seriously.

“Always report incidents of this nature to the police. If you have any information please dial 101, but in an emergency always call 999 immediately.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call Det Const Sue Chalmers on 07826 535 575 or phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting reference number 175880.
