it happened on the evening on Friday, May 7 on-board a service from London King's Cross station to Leeds Station.

The man sat opposite the victim on-board the train and demanded her name, where she was travelling to and what she was doing after the journey.

This made the victim uncomfortable, so she moved to a seat further away from the man.

When the service was in the Doncaster area, the victim noticed that the man was touching himself inappropriately through his trousers while staring at her.

Both the man and the victim disembarked the train at Leeds.

The British Transport Police have now released a photo of a man they would like to identify as they believe he may have information which could help their investigation.
