A man exposed and touched himself on a bus near Liverpool Street Station, police say.

Two women aged in their 20s reported seeing the man behave indecently while travelling southbound on the 149 bus route between 7.30am and 7.45am on November 5.

Police say the man disembarked at Bus Stop D in Shoreditch High Street, near the junction with Plough Yard.
