POLICE want to speak to this man after inappropri­ate comments were made to a woman at a railway station.

The incident happened at Aberdare train station last month, and now officers from British Transport Police have released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to about the incident.

A spokesman for the British Transport Police said the incident happened at around 8.20pm on July 22, when a 23-year-old woman was sat in a shelter at Aberdare station with a friend.

A man approached the two women before sitting next to the 23-year-old.

Police say he began to stroke her arm while making inappropri­ate sexual comments to her, and that the victim felt “very uncomforta­ble”.

She then boarded a train heading towards Cardiff Central, which the man boarded too.

He approached the two women and stared at them, and the spokesman said his behaviour made them feel “intimidate­d and uncomforta­ble”.

The man left the train at Cathays railway station.

The spokesman added: “Officers are now releasing CCTV images of a man they wish to speak with as he may have informatio­n which could help the investigat­ion, do you know who he is? Anyone with informatio­n is asked to get in touch by sending a text to 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 520-22/07/2017.”
