Picture released in hunt for Finsbury Park sex attacker
DETECTIVES have released a CCTV image of a man they want to trace in connection with a sexual assault on a bus.
A 32-year-old woman was travelling on a number 19 bus along Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, when a man got on and sat next to her.
While she was using her phone to send an email, the man started touching her on her thigh underneath her bag.
After a while, the woman felt something and lifted up her bag to see his hand on her.
She immediately jumped up to call for help and rushed past him to get to the bus driver.

The incident happened at around 4pm on September 27 but so far no-one has been arrested, but police are hoping that someone will recognise the man in the picture.
