Police are hunting a sex attacker who assaulted a woman as she waited for a bus in south London.

Just after 12.30am on October 14, the man set upon a 43-year-old woman at the bus stop outside Costcutter in Norwood Road, Lambeth.

Detectives on Monday morning released CCTV images of a man they believe has information about the incident.

They were taken on a number 38 bus the victim boarded after the assault.

Police described the woman's attacker as white and aged 40 to 45.

He was wearing a green cap, a dark zip-up jacket, jeans and white trainers.

A Met spokesman said: "Unwanted sexual behaviour on the transport network is not tolerated and all sexual offences are taken very seriously.

"Always report incidents of this nature to the police. If you have any information please dial 101, but in an emergency always call 999."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Michael Halifax on 07826 536146 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting reference 192949.
