Appeal for witnesses after woman sexually assaulted – Wales

Detectives investigating a sexual assault on a train from Cardiff to Newport are appealing for further information.

At around 6pm on Saturday 30 April, a woman boarded the train at Cardiff Central. A man on the train then moved closer to stand next to her and proceeded to sexually assault her.

The man is described as white, around 50 years old, and of medium build. He had short grey facial hair and was wearing dark blue jeans, a white polo shirt, blue hooded jacket, white trainers, a black cap, and glasses.
