Police are hunting as man who sexually assaulted a young woman as she walked up the stairs at a busy central London Tube station.
The 27-year-old woman was climbing the stairs to leave Leicester Square Underground station when she felt someone grab her behind.
Police said she turned to see a man staring at her before confronting him about the alleged sexual assault.
The woman called police and followed the man out of the station through Exit 3 onto Charing Cross Road.
He turned onto Great Newport Street before she lost sight of him at the junction of Long Acre and Cranbourn Street.
British Transport Police officers have now issued CCTV images of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident at 8.20am on Sunday, October 30.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Suleman Yazdani said: “No one should ever be made to feel as violated as this woman felt.
“We are doing everything we can to catch the offender and so I would ask anyone who recognises the man from these images to get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting 181 of 21/11.
