Appeal After Man Seen Masturbating on Slade Green Train

Police are appealing for help to identify a man following a disturbing incident on board a train travelling out of London.

The incident occurred at around 10pm on Sunday 1 March when a woman passenger noticed a man exposing himself while sitting on the train. According to investigators, the woman had been looking at her phone before glancing up and seeing the man masturbating while looking directly at her.

The suspect later left the train when it arrived at Slade Green station.

Detectives from British Transport Police have now released an image of a man they believe could assist with their enquiries. Officers say they would like to identify and speak with him as part of the ongoing investigation.

Anyone who recognises the individual is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference number 46 of 2 March.
