Police are hunting for a suspected flasher who allegedly touched himself on a bus near Croydon.

The man was sitting on the upper deck of the SL7 bus from Heathrow to Croydon between approximately 8.15am and 9am on Wednesday, July 31 when the offence was committed.

He is described as having a long, grey beard and aged around 50 years old.

He was wearing a white t-shirt with a blue turban.

The case has been linked by police to another incident on Tuesday, August 6 at approximately 6.55pm when it is alleged that the same man was walking along East Avenue in Southall assaulting women as he walked past them.

The man is thought to have been wearing an orange turban at the time.

No injuries have been reported in either incident.

Anyone who recognises him or has any information that could help police is asked to report it to police online or call 101 quoting 1063/01AUG24.
