A man suffered a “disgraceful and prolonged” sexual assault on a packed Tube train during the morning rush hour, police said.
The 38-year-old, who was on his way to work, had boarded a busy Victoria line train from Finsbury Park when another passenger pressed himself against him.
Police say the attacker then began touching the man inappropriately and did not stop until his shocked victim left the train at King’s Cross.
Detectives are now hunting the pervert, who is described as white, slender and around 5ft 7in tall.
He had blue eyes, blonde hair which was curly on top and is thought be in his mid-20s.
During the attack he was clad in a camouflage jacket with black jeans and trainers. He also had bright rucksack and a black earring in his left ear.
Police are now appealing for information over the March 22 assault, which took place at around 7.30am.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Suleman Yazdani, said: “This was a disgraceful and prolonged assault committed on a busy commuter tube service.
“As you can imagine this was a frightening experience for him as he quite rightly did not expect or want this man to touch him.
“If you know someone who matches the description then please get in touch as your information could be vitally important.”
