Officers are looking for witnesses to a sexual assault on the Jubilee line at Canary Wharf.

British Transport Police has released a CCTV picture of a man it is keen to talk to regarding the rush-hour incident in May, in which a woman was touched between the legs three times.

The offender left the train at Canary Wharf after the assault, which took place at around 9am on May 19.

Investigating officer detective Thanh Ly said: "This was a very unpleasant experience for the victim who was subjected to unwanted physical contact. Nobody should have to put up with this kind of behaviour.

"We've conducted observations at the station and followed other lines of enquiry and we're now appealing for help from members of the public."

Anyone who recognises the man is asked to contact BTP on 0800 405040, quoting background log B2 of 19/5/09.
