Man acted in a ‘sexually inappropriate manner’ on Welwyn Garden City train
A MAN who acted in a “sexually inappropriate manner” on board a train is being hunted by police.
A woman passenger boarded the 7.04pm train out of WGC station to Moorgate on Wednesday, January 20, when the man sat opposite her.
Pc Kerrie Price said: “The woman was seated in the second carriage from the front and a man sat opposite her.
“He began to rub the front of his trousers in an inappropriate way, which made the woman feel uncomfortable.
“She got up to move to a different part of the carriage, but the man followed her and continued to touch himself in front of her.”
