Man exposes himself to 11-year-old schoolgirl on London bus in east London

A man exposed himself to an 11-year-old schoolgirl as she travelled on a double-decker bus in east London.

Scotland Yard on Friday released both a CCTV image and description of a man they are trying to trace following the incident, which happened on a bus in Hackney on January 26.

The young victim was travelling on the upper deck of a Route 149 bus along Kingsland Road, Dalston, around 3.50pm when she noticed a man sitting nearby.

He changed seats a number of times, moving closer to her each time.

Once he was in the same row, he exposed himself to her before getting off the bus.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Officers from the Roads and Transport Policing Command are investigating and have carried out a number of enquiries. They have now issued a CCTV image of a man they need to identify and speak with.

“He is described as Black and aged in his 30s or 40s. He was wearing a black beanie hat, black jacket and black trousers.”
