Police Release Image After Woman Allegedly Sexually Assaulted on Northern Line

Detectives say public identification of the man pictured could prompt witnesses to contact officers and help the active inquiry.

Overview

  • A woman boarding a Northern Line service was allegedly sexually assaulted as a man left the train at Tufnell Park station, police say.
  • British Transport Police have published an image of a man they want to speak to and say he may hold information relevant to the inquiry.
  • The man is described in coverage as a white man with dark hair and a beard wearing a white T‑shirt and blue jeans in the released image.
  • Officers ask anyone with information to quote reference 491 of 23 April and to text 61016, call 0800 40 50 40, or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
  • The case remains under active investigation with the victim’s identity protected and no arrest reported, and the incident highlights how crowded rush‑hour carriages make identifying suspects and witnesses harder.
