An investigation has been launched after a woman was reportedly sexually assaulted on a bus.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident at around 5pm on Tuesday, February 25, on the 480 service between Gravesend and Dartford.

It is alleged a man, who the woman did not know, touched her over her clothing and made lewd comments before getting off the vehicle near Dartford High Street.

The suspect is described as being white, in his early to mid-40s, with short dark hair and thick eyebrows.

He spoke in a foreign accent and was wearing a dark raincoat and blue jeans.

He was also carrying a rucksack and a can of beer in his hand, as well a plastic carrier bag containing further cans.

Officers are now appealing for any witnesses who have not yet spoken to the police and anyone who recognises the description of the suspect to contact them.
