POLICE are hunting a sex pervert who molested a woman passenger while she was asleep on an Underground train in East London.
The 23-year-old woman was travelling late at night on the Central Line from the West End and woke at Leyton to find she was being touched indecently by a man next to her.
She hurriedly left the train, but realised the man was following and jumped back on and asked for help from passengers in the next carriage.
The man left the train at the next stop, Leytonstone, but may have boarded another carriage.
DISGUSTING
“Nobody should be subjected to this type of disgusting behaviour,” said Det Sgt Maggie Storey.
