A TEENAGE boy was left 'shocked' after a man groped him and exposed himself on a train approaching Reading Station.

British transport police officers would like to speak to the man pictured in connection with the incident.

It happened at approximately 3.45pm on September 5.

The victim, in his late teens, was approached by another man at Didcot Parkway, who asked the victim if the train was heading towards London.  

Both men then joined a GWR service.

As the train was approaching Reading station, the man then approached the victim again and groped him with both hands.

He then exposed himself.

The victim quickly left the service at Reading, but was left understandably shocked by this man's invasive behaviour. 

The suspect remained on the train, leaving at Paddington. 

Officers believe the man shown on this CCTV image may have information which could help them investigate.

Anyone who knows who he is is asked to contact BTP by sending a text to 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 386 of 05/09/2019. 

Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be called anonymously on 0800 555 111.
