Woman sexually assaulted on Melbourne train – police release CCTV of Asian man

A woman has allegedly been sexually assaulted on a Melbourne train, and police are appealing for public assistance tracking down her alleged attacker.

Victoria Police said on Wednesday the alleged offender boarded an inbound train from Sunshine Railway Station at about 1.30pm on Monday August 25.

The woman, 24, was already on board and seated near the rear of the carriage when the alleged offender sat directly behind her.

He then allegedly sexually assaulted her before getting off the train at Tottenham.

Police said he then got on second train which arrived at North Melbourne, and a short time later a third train from North Melbourne, and then got off again at  Moreland Railway Station at about 2.30pm.

Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives have now released images and vision of a man they believe could assist with their inquiries.

“He is perceived to be Asian in appearance, aged in his early 20s, with a dark moustache,” police said.

“He was wearing dark blue jeans, a light blue ‘Arcata Aquatics’ windcheater and a black Nike beanie.”
