COPS are frantically searching for a man after a 12-year-old girl, walking with her mother, was reportedly sexually assaulted twice on a train.

The despicable crime is alleged to have occurred on a train between Birmingham and Hereford on Saturday, August 16.

As the young girl was walking to the toilets with her mother the man is said to have sexually assaulted her.

He then waited outside the toilets and sexually assaulted her again as she left, cops said.

The British Transport Police have now released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Detective Sergeant Matthew Grieve said: “This is a deeply distressing incident which has shocked and impacted the family.

“We would like to speak to the man pictured, as we believe he may have valuable information that would help our investigation.”

Anyone who recognises the man or has info is asked to contact BTP as a matter of urgency.
