The Metropolitan Police are seeking witnesses to come forward over two reported incidences of a man exposing himself while on a Superloop bus heading for Sutton.
Police appeal: the Met wants to know if you can identify this man
Detectives have issued an image the man they would like to speak to in relation to “two exposure offences”.
The police say, “An investigation remains on-going into the circumstances.”
The man is alleged to have exposed himself to a group of young girls on Tuesday April 1 and Tuesday April 8 while on a SL7 bus travelling towards Sutton.
In a statement issued by the Met, they say that on April 1 between 2.30pm and 4.30pm “the man allegedly exposed his buttocks to a group of girls. It was reported that the man then started to smack himself while he was exposed”.
On April 8, at what the police describe as “the same location” and again between 2.30 and 4.30pm, “It was reported that the man exposed his penis to a group of girls, before urinating in their direction before he shouted vulgar remarks.”
DC Teresa Moore said: “Both incidents have caused extreme concern to the victims involved and it is important for anyone with information comes forward to police in order for us to locate this man.
“If you recognise this man, then do not hesitate to get in contact with us.”
Witnesses can call 101 stating reference CAD 6071/01APR25, or remain anonymous by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
“Our neighbourhood officers are currently carrying out extra patrols in the area to ensure the safety of all young women who may take this bus route,” DC Moore said.
“If you have any concerns about these incidents, then please do not hesitate to speak with any of our officers, we will provide you with advice and reassurance.”
