Published at 3:47pm

Detectives investigating a sexual assault at King’s Cross Underground station have released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to.

A woman was sexually assaulted in a lift at the station after helping a man who appeared lost. The incident happened at around 6am on Thursday, 8 October, after the woman assisted the man in finding the correct platform.

British Transport Police have now released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the investigation.

A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “Detectives investigating a sexual assault at King’s Cross Underground station have released these images in connection.”

“At around 6am on Thursday 8 October, a man was at the station and appeared lost and so was helped to the right platform.”

“While in the lift, he sexually assaulted a woman.”

“Detectives would like to speak to the man pictured, as they believe he may have information which could help their investigation.”

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 159 of October 8.

Information can also be passed anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

It is the latest CCTV appeal issued by police in London, after detectives named a man they want to trace over the murder of Rohan Trotman in Peckham, with a £10,000 reward on offer.
