An appeal has been launched to trace a man in connection with an incident on board a train travelling between Birmingham New Street and Cheltenham Spa rail stations.
Officers for British Transport Police (BTP) are asking for the public's help to help with their investigation after a woman was touched inappropriately.
They believe the man in these CCTV images will have information which can assist the investigation into the incident which took place shortly before midnight on Friday, April 5.
Investigating officer, PC Frank Hedley, said: "A male passenger on the 2300hrs Birmingham New Street – Gloucester service appeared to be in drink and was shouting at a number of passengers, including woman in her twenties who was travelling with her father.
"When the woman went to use the toilet on the train, the passenger who had been shouting reached out and touched her chest.
"The man got off the train when it arrived at Cheltenham Spa station and told rail staff he had been intending to travel to Liverpool but had missed his train.
"Enquiries are ongoing to trace the man, whose behaviour on the train was completely inappropriate and unacceptable.
"I would now like to identify and speak to the man in these photographs as I believe he will have key information which can assist this investigation.
"He is described as white, aged 30-35 years old, of slim build with short, dark brown hair. He was wearing a black jacket and dark trousers and spoke with a strong Liverpool accent."
