British Transport Police are investigating a sexual assault and have released an image of a man they would like to speak with. The incident occurred at about 9pm on Saturday 29 March, onboard the 8.01pm Manchester Victoria to Redcar Central train.

A man sat opposite a young woman and proceeded to stare at her, before sexually assaulting her. Detectives believe the man in the images may have information that could help with their investigation.
