Police are hunting for a man who exposed himself and performed a sex act in front of a teenage girl on a train.

The incident took place in broad daylight on the Liverpool Street to Shenfield train at 4pm on November 8.

Police said the girl, aged 14, was travelling after visiting the poppy display at the Tower of London.

They both took different seats in the carriage and a man sat opposite.

He exposed himself before performing a sexual act in front of the young girl.

The girl went over to tell her mother, but as the train pulled into Seven Kings station, the man got off the train.

British Transport Police have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident.

Detective Constable Michael Hatcher said: “Both mother and daughter were shocked by this incident.

“BTP has done a lot of work around incidents of unwanted sexual behaviour on the rail network, and we treat crimes such as this very seriously.

“I believe the man in the image we are issuing today can help with our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting reference ESUB/B6 of 21/11/2014. Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
