Overview
- British Transport Police are investigating a December 15 incident just before 8pm on a District line train toward Cannon Street where a man allegedly sat next to a woman, followed her when she moved seats twice, and sexually assaulted her.
- Officers released an image linked to the District line case and asked anyone with information to text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 683 of 15 December.
- In a separate case on September 15 at around 6:30am, police say a man followed a woman onto a Central line train departing Stratford and sexually assaulted her as it travelled toward Liverpool Street.
- An image released for the Central line investigation shows a man with short dark hair and a goatee, wearing a black hooded puffer jacket and carrying a black backpack; tips should reference 133 of 15 September.
- BTP says both investigations remain active and encourages anonymous reports to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, while TfL data show 595 sexual offences on Tube lines in 2024–25 with the Central line recording the most at 124.
