Police are hunting a man after a sex attack on a teenage girl on a bus in west London.

A man moved seats to sit next to the victim, trapping her in the corner of the bus, before putting his hand on her thigh and touching her inappropriately.

When she got off the bus in Ealing, she was followed by a man who allegedly continued to harass her.

He finally fled when the victim threatened to call the police.

The alleged assault happened at around 7.50pm on Friday, September 9 on the route E10 bus.

The victim claims the man moved seats to sit next to her and touched her inappropriately.
