Police are hunting a man suspected of exposing himself to two women on buses in Camden and Westminster.
The man first exposed himself to a woman on a rush-hour 31 bus on Friday, September 8 in Camden.
The victim boarded the bus at Avenue Road, Belsize Park where the suspect sat directly behind her.
When she looked at him, she saw the man indecently exposing himself. He then put his foot out in front of the victim to stop her from leaving the bus.
In the second incident, at 4.37am on November 7, the victim boarded a bus at Victoria Street, Westminster and travelled on the bus route 170 towards Roehampton.
She then saw a man indecently exposing himself with his phone in his hand. When she shouted at him the suspect replied, “do you have a cigarette?”
Officers have released two images of the man they would like to speak to in connection with the investigation.
He is described as having dark coloured skin, a black beard and long hair which has been tied back or with a black headband.
In one image he is seen wearing a black coat with a hood pulled over his head and in the other image, he is wearing a dark green jacket and light coloured trousers.
Met Detective Sergeant Matthew Brown, leading the investigation, said: “Nobody should ever have to witness indecent exposure and experience this abhorrent crime when travelling on London’s bus network.
“We remain absolutely resolute in our commitment to protect women and girls across London. The Met is dedicated to targeting offenders, eradicating sexual violence, and supporting those who are impacted.
“If you know or have seen this man on London bus routes, please do come forward with any further information to support our investigation.”
Anyone who recognises the man or has any information should call police on 101 or via ‘X’ @MetCC quoting CAD 1991/08SEPT23.
