A man allegedly blew kisses at a stranger on the Underground before putting his arm around her and sexually assaulting her.

Police released a CCTV image of a man they believe has information about the attack, which happened on the Victoria line in north London on August 22.

“A woman crossed over from the northbound Piccadilly line to the northbound Victoria line at Finsbury Park London Underground station,” said a British Transport Police spokeswoman on Tuesday.

“As she made her way to a waiting train on the Victoria line platform a man walking towards her started blowing kisses towards her.

“She was sat for only 30 seconds when she saw the man sit directly opposite to her.

“As the train departed Finsbury Park station the man kept staring at the woman causing her to feel upset and uncomfortable.

“At the next station, Seven Sisters, the train terminated and the woman got off the train first. The man followed her and went on to put his arm around her and touch inappropriately.”

Det Const Suleman Yazdani asked anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV picture to call BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016 quoting reference number T-SUB/B6 of November 10.
