The incident has been linked to two subsequent allegations of sexual assault, also on a route H37 bus.

In mid-July, a different 23-year-old woman claimed that she had twice been sexually assaulted by a man who had sat next to her at the back of the bus.

Both times she had boarded at Richmond station.

Anyone with information about the man in the photo, or any information about the incidents, is urged to contact Detective Constable Teresa Moore, at the Roads and Transport Policing Command, via 101.
