British Transport Police officers investigating an incident involving a man masturbating are today releasing a CCTV image in connection.
On 29 July, between 7.50am and 8.25am, a passenger on board a train from Doncaster was approached by a distraught young woman who explained that she believed another passenger had been staring and grinning at her while masturbating.
She had recorded what happened with her phone and showed the passenger who confirmed this.
Both the victim and offender boarded the service at Doncaster and left at Scunthorpe.
Investigators have now released an image of a man they believe could help with their enquiries and are asking him to contact them.
Officers are also appealing for the victim or any witnesses to also get in touch.
Investigating officer PC Fran Hewlett said: “All victims of sexual offences are given full anonymity and will be supported by specially trained police officers."
Please contact British Transport Police by calling 0800 40 50 40, or by texting 61016 with the reference 2300088256.
