Police Appeal for Information After St Pancras Station Assault
British Transport Police have issued a public appeal for information following a serious incident at one of London's busiest transport hubs. Detectives are investigating a report of a sexual assault that allegedly occurred on an escalator within St Pancras International railway station.
Details of the Alleged Incident
The incident is reported to have taken place during the morning rush hour on Saturday 22 November 2025. According to police statements, at approximately 7.30am, a man is alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman while both were using an escalator within the station.
The situation escalated further when the man reportedly followed the woman out of the station premises. The pursuit continued to a nearby building where the individual attempted to follow the victim inside. Fortunately, he was prevented from gaining entry to the building, potentially preventing further harm.
CCTV Image Released in Investigation
In a significant development in their investigation, British Transport Police have now released a CCTV image of a man they believe may hold crucial information about the incident. The image shows an individual detectives are keen to identify and speak with regarding the alleged assault.
A formal statement from British Transport Police reads: "Detectives investigating a sexual assault at St Pancras International railway station in November have released this image in connection. We believe the man in the image may have information that could help our investigation."
How the Public Can Assist
Police have provided multiple channels through which members of the public can share information:
- Text British Transport Police on 61016
- Call 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 152 of 22 November
- Contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
Authorities are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who recognises the individual in the released CCTV image or who may have witnessed suspicious behaviour around St Pancras station during the relevant time period.
Security at Major Transport Hubs
This incident raises important questions about passenger safety at major railway stations, particularly during busy periods. St Pancras International serves as a critical transport link for both domestic and international travel, handling thousands of passengers daily.
The release of the CCTV image represents a standard investigative approach when police need to identify individuals who may have witnessed or been involved in criminal incidents at public locations. Such appeals have previously proven successful in progressing investigations and bringing offenders to justice.
British Transport Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault and are following several lines of enquiry. The victim is receiving appropriate support from specialist officers as the investigation progresses.
