Detectives are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man they want to speak to in connection with an allegation of so called 'upskirting' involving a child.

It's alleged to have happened at 1730 on Monday September the 12th.

A child aged under 16, was on a 148 bus heading towards White City Bus Station when an unknown man used a mobile phone to reportedly take a photo up her dress.

The man was challenged by the victim’s family member before getting off the bus at the next stop.

Detectives have released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

The man is described as black, aged in his mid-40s, about 5ft9ins of medium build. He had very short hair and a short beard with bits of grey in it.

He was wearing a denim jacket, dark jeans and grey trainers. He was carrying a navy rucksack which had lighter blue strips on the shoulder straps.

"Extremely Distressing"

Detective Sergeant Fiona Craig of the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “This was an extremely distressing incident for the victim and her family. We are keen to speak to the man who was on the bus that day. If that man was you, or if you recognise him, please do the right thing and contact us as a matter of urgency so we can establish all the facts.”
