UPDATE: The man has been identified and is assisting police with their enquiries.
.........
ACT Policing is seeking community assistance to identify a man who allegedly engages inappropriately with young women on buses.
Police have received several reports from 2024 to now about the man’s interactions with young women.
He allegedly rides the #4 and #64 buses, going to and from the Woden Interchange.
While on the bus he focuses on young girls, gesturing and staring at them to the point they feel uncomfortable. He often continues the behaviour despite being asked to stop. His behaviour only changes when people begin filming him.
Police also believe this man may be responsible for an alleged assault in the City in late 2024 after two teens were followed from a bus.
The man is described as middle aged, of Middle Eastern or Central Asian descent, about 168cm (5’6”) tall with a solid build, grey beard with no moustache and straight side parted hair.
Anyone who can assist police with the man’s identity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote 8081783. Information can be provided anonymously.
