Transport police need to speak to the man pictured in connection with the incident on an escalator
Police have launched a CCTV appeal after a woman was upskirted at a Tube station in East London. A man reportedly pointed his phone up at a woman using the escalator at West Ham during rush hour.
He was caught in the vulgar act by member of the public shortly before 8.30am on Friday, July 24. The perpetrator then boarded a Jubilee line train to Stratford and is yet to be arrested.
The British Transport Police (BTP) is now releasing a photo of a man they’d like to speak to in connection. “Officers believe the man in the image could have information that may assist their enquiries,” the force said in a statement this afternoon.
The footage shows a young man of slim build, with a dark-coloured moustache and a beard. He’s wearing a Under Armour jacket over a grey top, with grey workwear trousers, a black cap and white wireless earphones.
Anyone who recognises him is asked to text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 137 of 24 July. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
