A man who carried out a “disgusting act” on himself on a commuter train out of London is being sought by police.

This photo, released today by transport officers, shows a passenger they believe has information about the incident on September 8.

It happened on the TfL Rail service, which runs from Liverpool Street to Shenfield, shortly before 3pm.

Det Const Sally Everritt said: “Witnesses on the train saw a man performing an indecent act on himself.

“He left at Shenfield, and was seen entering a shop before walking towards Hunter Avenue.

“This was a disgusting act that upset those who witnessed it.

“We will not accept such behaviour on the rail network, and I am glad this was reported to us.

“I would now ask the public to help with our investigation. I think the man in the images has information about the incident. Who is he?”

Anyone with information is asked to call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting reference ESUB/B4 of September 30. Alternatively you can phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
