A man allegedly exposed himself to two female passengers over two weeks.
In the first incident, the 21-year-old victim was flashed on a Route 135 bus travelling from Old Street Station towards Westferry Road.
After boarding the bus on Commercial Road and taking a seat on the upper deck, the man reportedly tried to chat to the woman before exposing himself to her, getting off the bus near Westferry DLR station.
A 23-year-old woman sitting on the top deck of a Route 205 bus travelling from Paddington Station towards Bow Church Station was then flashed thirteen days later, according to Scotland Yard.
