British Transport Police (BTP) have launched a public appeal to identify a man following a sexual assault at a major London Underground station during the evening rush hour.
Details of the Euston Station Attack
The incident occurred on the stairs at Euston Underground station at approximately 5.20pm on Saturday, 6 December. According to police reports, a man assaulted a woman as the two passed each other on the staircase.
Investigators have now released a closed-circuit television (CCTV) image of a man they urgently wish to identify and speak to in connection with the attack. A BTP statement said: "Officers would like to speak to the man pictured, as they believe he may have information that would help their investigation."
Description of the Person of Interest
The footage shows a middle-aged white man, of medium build, with dark-coloured cropped hair. At the time of the incident, he was wearing black trousers and a black jumper, which was covered by a black gilet or body warmer. He was also carrying a backpack with distinctive black straps.
Sexual Offences on the Tube Network
This alarming incident comes as official figures highlight the scale of the issue on London's transport network. According to Transport for London (TfL) data, there were 595 sexual offences reported across all Tube lines in the 2024-25 period. The Central line recorded the highest number of these incidents, with 124 reports.
In a separate case, police are also searching for a man who sexually assaulted a woman on a Tram last year, having released another CCTV image to the public.

Anyone who recognises the man in the image is urged to contact the British Transport Police immediately. You can text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference number 468 of 6 December.
