Search for railway sex attacker

An inquiry has been launched after a man reported being sexually assaulted by another man at a railway station in Powys, British Transport Police say.

The incident is said to have happened on 31 August in Knighton, but has only just been reported to the police.

The victim claims he was assaulted after he was asked by the man to look after his bags while he went to the toilet.

The suspect is described as white, aged in his 50s and about 5ft 10in (1.77m).

He was wearing glasses, had a moustache, was of a plump build and was smartly dressed with shirt, tie, beige sports jacket and a bright red raincoat with white stripes on the sleeves.

He also carried a briefcase, said police.

Anyone with information can contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, quoting incident 317.
