COPS are urgently hunting for a topless man after a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted on the Tube.
Police said that their suspect struck on a Jubilee line train travelling between Southwark and London Bridge on Monday, June 30.
The alleged sexual assault happened just before 5pm, when thousands of commuters would be leaving the office and getting on the London Underground.
Now, the British Transport Police (BTP) has released a CCTV image in the hopes someone can identify the person of interest.
The picture shows a middle-aged white man of medium build with short dark hair.
He is wearing black and white patterned shorts and appears to have a tattoo on his right arm.
A BTP statement said: “Officers would like to speak to the man pictured as they believe he may have information which could help their investigation.”
The statement added: “Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 500 of 30 June.
“Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
Data released by Transport for London revealed over 800 reports of sexual assault on the London Underground were made in 2024.
This was an increase of 56 assaults when compared to the previous year, with 745 occurring between April 2022 and April 2023.
