Detectives investigating a sexual assault on a bus in Beckenham have released an image of a male they wish to speak to in connection to the attack.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, 12 December 2017, at approximately 7.15am, on the 54 bus heading towards Lewisham.
The victim, a 25-year-old woman, sat on the upper deck of the virtually empty bus. A stop later, the suspect boarded and sat directly next to her. He began to engage her in unwanted conversation.
