A man is due to be sentenced after he admitted sexually assaulting a woman on a route 111 bus in Hounslow.

Nirpal Bhati appeared at Feltham Magistrates' Court last Thursday (November 13) accused of touching a woman in a sexual manner without her consent on a bus between Northfield Road, Hounslow, and Hounslow East tube station on the morning of June 10 this year.

The 39-year-old, of Rectory Park Avenue, Northolt, admitted one count of sexual assault on a female. He was bailed to return on December 8 for a pre-sentence report.

British Transport Police earlier this year urged passengers to report any sexual assaults or harassment they experienced while travelling.
