Police are appealing to the public after two sexual assaults at Vauxhall bus station.

Detectives from the Met's Roads and Transport Policing Command have released an image of a man they want to trace after two sexual assaults by the same suspect.

The appeal comes following a strong of reports of violence against women in the wake of Sarah Everard.

Both incidents occurred on Monday September 20 2021 between 15:00 and 15:30.

In the first incident the suspect sexually touched a 18-year-old woman as she stood at the stop before he walked away.

In the second offence, the suspect sexually touched a 19-year-old woman.

The victim challenged his behaviour and when the bus arrived the victim boarded it.

The suspect remained at the bus stop and could be heard shouting abuse at the victim.

The suspect is described as a white male with an Eastern European accent, of medium build with short curly fair hair.

He was wearing a grey hoody with the hood up, dark grey trousers and white slider-type sandals with no socks.

Detective Inspector Michael Dougall said: "No one should have to put up with unwanted attention or predatory, sexual or violent behaviour.

"We have released this image in the hope that someone will recognise this person and help police identify him.

"I would urge anyone who can help to get in contact."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD4556/20SEP21.
