Update

In December 2017, Tasim Qinami was acquitted of all charges after a trial at Blackfriars Crown Court.

Police are hunting a man wanted over a sex assault on a 15-year-old girl on a train in west London.

Tasim Qinami, 19, was charged after the teenager was attacked while travelling between Twickenham and Richmond in November last year.

Qinami was due to appear at Blackfriars Crown Court on June 28 charged with sexual assault but failed to turn up, British Transport Police said.

A number of attempted to arrest him failed, a spokesman added.

Officers have today released an image of Qinami in a bid to trace him.

Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 156 09/10/2017. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
