Police are hunting a man suspected of sexually assaulting a sleeping train passenger who then photographed him after he returned to his seat and dozed off.
The 29-year-old woman, who cannot be named, was asleep on the 6.30am train from London Euston to Birmingham on February 15 when she woke to find a stranger groping her chest.
She quickly moved to another carriage and the man calmly walked back to his seat and went to sleep.
