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

The incidents happened at bus stop J in Vauxhall bus station between 3:00pm and 3:30pm on Monday, September 20.

In the first incident, the suspect sexually touched an 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, who challenged his behaviour.

When her bus arrived, the victim boarded it. The suspect remained at the bust 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 wore a grey hoody with the hood up, dark grey trousers and white slider-type sandals without 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. Alternatively, you can speak to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
