17-year-old arrested after multiple sexual assaults on Underground and Thameslink trains
A teenager is alleged to have gone on a two-hour sexual assault rampage across London’s transport network.
Witnesses are being urged to come forward following the series of alleged offences involving a 17-year-old boy.
The incidents began at approximately 4:40 pm on Friday, September 5, when a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by the teen on a Bakerloo line carriage at Harlesden Underground station in Acton, west London.
The suspect then reportedly sexually assaulted two more women on a Thameslink train, and then at Blackfriars station in central London.
Police then received another report of a woman being attacked aboard a Thameslink train heading towards St Pancras International station at around 6:40 pm.
Finally, a fifth assault involving the same teen at West Hampstead Thameslink station in Camden, north London, is said to have occurred at around 7 pm.
The British Transport Police have made an arrest in connection with the incidents, with further inquiries ongoing.
A spokesman for the force said “they would like anyone who witnessed these incidents, or who may possibly have been a victim themselves, to come forward.”
