A man was sexually assaulted at a tube station by a woman after refusing to link arms with her and police have released images of a female they want to speak to over the incident.

The public has been asked to help identify the woman who police have asked to come forward following the assault at a London Underground station.

Images have been released of the woman who British Transport Police have said they want to speak to over the incident on April 14.

A man was heading up an escalator at Euston Underground station at around 9pm when the woman linked arms with him.

And when he pulled himself away she “sexually assaulted him”, said police.
