Police have released CCTV images of a man they are looking for in connection with an alleged sexual assault on a bus in Hanworth.

Officers are appealing for anyone with information to help with their search to trace a slim Asian man, with short, dark spiked hair, who inappropriately touched a 22-year-old woman on board the 285 bus on March 9.

Both the man and woman boarded the bus, which was travelling to Heathrow Airport, at Wood Street, in Kingston, at around 5.30pm.

During the journey, the suspect is reported to have inappropriately touched the victim.

He was challenged by the victim and got off the bus at Hampton Road West and boarded another 285 bus a short time later.

The suspect was wearing glasses, a parka-style coat with a fur-trimmed hood and a light blue top, jeans, tan shoes and was carrying a distinctive dark sports bag with a white end panel.
