The incident occurred at approximately 5:30pm on Thursday, August 17th, last year, aboard a Piccadilly line train as it arrived at Holborn station.

A 19-year-old woman was travelling on the Piccadilly line when a man who had been sitting next to her stood up and deliberately fell onto her when the tube reached Holborn station.

He then sexually assaulted her before standing up and smiling at her.
