British Transport Police are looking for this man. They would like to talk to him about a sexual assault against a disabled woman on board a train from Bristol.

It happened around 5.20-6pm on 18 March when the victim, a 24-year-old woman, was standing by the luggage rack on the train.

A man who was stood next to her touched her inappropriately.

She moved to sit down and he followed her and sat down next to her, then sexually assaulted her again.

The victim confronted the man and he left the train at Westbury.

The victim was very upset and in shock as a result of this incident. She has a disability which affects her mobility and meant she felt even more vulnerable in the situation.

“There were other people on the train at the time of the assault, including a female passenger who kindly checked if the victim was ok after the incident.

I would like to speak to the man shown in the CCTV images as he may have information which could help with the investigation. If you know who he is, please contact me as soon as possible.
