Met Police: Hunt for flasher who performed ‘sexual acts’ on buses in front of teenagers

Police are hunting for a man who flashed teenage girls and performed “sexual acts” on himself while on buses in north London.

The man, described as black, aged 25 to 30, and about 6ft tall, is believed to have first exposed himself on a Route 263 bus on Holloway Road, N19 heading towards Barnet.

An 18-year-old woman boarded the bus, at about 4.30pm on Thursday, October 6, 2022.

The suspect was already on the bus and during the journey he exposed himself and then carried out a sexual act on himself.

The woman approached the bus driver and the man was told to leave the bus.

The following day - on Friday, October 7 - at around 8.20am, two 16-year-old girls were on a Route 243 bus travelling towards Waterloo Station.

Just after a stop near The Roundway, in Haringey, a man got on and sat near the two girls, before exposing himself and carrying out a sexual act on himself.

The girls told the bus driver, who removed him at the High Road, South Tottenham.

Met Police detectives are appealing for the public’s help to track down the man.
