A MAN suspected of sexually assaulting two women on a Number 5 bus got off at Between Towns Road in Cowley.

Police said on Tuesday that a man made inappropriate comments and inappropriately touched a 22-year-old woman and a 46-year-old woman on Friday, June 12.

Officers last night revealed the victims got on the bus at Castle Street in the city centre and it is believed the suspect was already on the bus at the time.

Thames Valley spokesman James Williams said it was understood the suspect got off the bus at the first stop in Between Towns Road, heading towards Barns Road in Blackbird Leys.

Earlier this week the force released CCTV footage of a man who could have key information about the incident, which happened between 5pm and 6pm.

Investigating officer, Pc Hannah Cormack said: “We are appealing for witnesses to this incident. We are also keen to speak to the man in the CCTV to help us with our enquiries, as he might have vital information about the offences.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101.
