Police are hunting a man who allegedly flashed schoolgirls and urinated at them on a bus in South London. The allegations relate to two incidents on Tuesday, April 1, and Tuesday, April 8, when it is said a man exposed himself to the youngsters on a SL7 bus towards Sutton. The force has released a photo of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incidents.
During the first incident on the Superloop London bus route, which runs from West Croydon bus station to Heathrow Central bus station, between 2:30pm and 4:30pm, the girls reported he exposed his bottom and started to smack himself while his trousers were down. A week later, at the same time and location, the girls reported he exposed his penis and urinated in their direction before shouting ‘vulgar remarks’.
Police have released a CCTV image on a bus of a man officers want to find and speak to as part of the investigation. In the photo he’s pictured wearing a yellow and dark coloured jacket.
Detective Constable Teresa Moore, from the Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “Both incidents have caused extreme concern to the victims involved and it is important for anyone with information comes forward to police in order for us to locate this man.
“If you recognise this man, then do not hesitate to get in contact with us. You can do so by calling 101 stating reference CAD 6071/01APR25. You can also remain anonymous by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
“Our neighbourhood officers are currently carrying out extra patrols in the area to ensure the safety of all young women who may take this bus route. If you have any concerns about these incidents, then please do not hesitate to speak with any of our officers, we will provide you with advice and reassurance.”
A Met Police spokesperson added: “An investigation remains on-going into the circumstances.”
