The alleged victim got off the bus and boarded a 149 bus to Bruce Grove but noticed the suspect had followed her.

In the early hours of July 2, a 27-year-old woman fell asleep on an N18 bus and woke up to find the man touching her.

The suspect is also reported to have sat next to a woman on a bus heading towards Park Royal and touched her leg around 9am on July 17.

On August 8, the man, described as Middle Eastern, 5ft 7ins tall and of a slim build, touched himself while sitting next to a woman on a bus in High Street, Harlesden.

A 31-year-old woman challenged the man when he touched her on a bus toward Park Royal station.

Anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV or who has information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Detective Constable Teresa Moore from the RTPC on 07920 590261.

Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
