Police have launched an investigation after a man exposed himself and performed a sex act in front of a woman on the Central Line.
In what is described as an “extremely disturbing” incident the man touched himself whilst staring at a stranger on the evening of June 5.
The 32-year-old victim got on the Underground at Tottenham Court Road station a 7pm and, as she sat down, the man began staring at her.
He then proceeded to expose genitals and touch himself throughout the journey, before leaving the Tube at East Acton station.
The British Transport Police have now released images of a man in connection with the incident.
Detective constable Andrew Parkinson, who is leading the investigation, said: “This was an extremely disturbing experience for this woman and we are working hard to track the man responsible.
"I believe the man in the images has information about this incident. Who is he?
“We will never tolerate sexual offences on the Tube network and I would encourage victims and witnesses of crime to always come forward and report them to us.”
Anyone who has any information is urged to contact BTP by text on 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 184 of 19/08/2016.
