Police have issued an appeal after a man exposed his private parts on a bus and performed sexual acts in front of teenage girls, during two separate bus journeys.

An 18-year-old woman had boarded a Route 263 bus on Holloway Road, heading towards Barnet - and saw the man exposing his private parts and performing a sexual act on himself.

The incident happened at around 16:30pm on Thursday, 6 October 2022 - and the woman informed the bus driver who removed the man.

The next day on Friday 7 - at around 8:20am - the man boarded the bus near The Roundway - N17 - and sat near two 16-year-old girls.

Similar to the previous incident, he exposed his private bits and carried out a sexual act on himself.

The girls had boarded a Route 243 bus travelling towards Waterloo Station and complained to the bus driver, who removed the man at the High Road, N15.

Detectives from Met’s Road and Transport Policing Command are appealing for the public’s help to identify the predator. The suspect has been described as black, aged 25 to 30, and about 6ft tall.
