BTP Hunt Two Men After Elizabeth Line Sexual Assault In East London

British Transport Police detectives have issued an appeal for help after a woman was sexually assaulted on an Elizabeth Line service travelling through east London.

The incident happened shortly before 11pm on Saturday 6 June, when a group of buskers boarded an eastbound train at Whitechapel station. During the journey, two men from the group are reported to have sexually assaulted a woman on board.

The men then left the train at the next stop, Stratford station.

Officers have now released images of two men they want to identify as part of their investigation. Detectives believe they may hold information which could assist enquiries into what happened.

Anyone who recognises the men, or who witnessed the incident, is being urged to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 860 of 6 June.

Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
