Police have launched a manhunt after an alleged indecent exposure on the London Underground.
At about 9.30pm on Tuesday, July 29 officers say a man travelling on the Metropolitan line from Great Portland Street to Uxbridge was seen with a large tear in his trousers that left him exposed.
He then reportedly touched himself while staring at women on the train. British Transport Police is keen to identify a middle-aged White man, who is pictured wearing blue Beats headphones and a black t-shirt.
Anyone who recognises him is asked to get in contact. A force spokesperson said: “Officers investigating an incident where a man exposed and touched himself inappropriately have today released this image in connection.
