Police hunt for woman who sexually assaulted male train worker as he walked through carriage
Police are hunting for a woman who allegedly sexually assaulted a male train worker as he walked through a carriage late at night. At the time of the assault, the railway employee had been passing through a carriage as it travelled between Sutton Parkway and Shirebrook in northern Nottinghamshire. The attack is said to have occurred at around 9pm on Saturday, May 31. Now, the British Transport Police have issued an urgent appeal for the public's assistance and are hoping to speak to a woman captured on CCTV on the day of the incident. Officers believe that she could hold vital information that could help aid their investigation. Anyone who recognises the woman has been asked to contact British Transport Police. A spokesperson for the force said: 'Police investigating a sexual assault on a rail staff member in Nottinghamshire have released this image in connection. 'At around 9pm on Saturday 31 May, a member of staff was on a train between Sutton Parkway and Shirebrook. 'As he walked down the carriage, a woman sexually assaulted him. 'Officers would like to speak to the woman pictured as they believe she may have information that could assist their enquiries.' Any individuals with relevant information or able to identify the woman pictured have been asked to contact the British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 682 of 31 May. Information can also be reported anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. It come after a Great Western Railway train manager was jailed for seven years in February after he sexually assaulted an 18-year-old passenger when asking to check her ticket. Nicholas McMurray, 38, approached the victim and asked to see her ticket, and adjusted the woman's dress, British Transport Police said. The 18-year-old had been standing and chatting on the phone in the vestibule shortly before it arrived in Swansea when McMurray sexually assaulted her on June 22, 2024. He continued to hold the victim until the train pulled into the station and made sexually explicit comments to her before touching her again as she got off the train. The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, bravely reported the incident to officers at the station. Police found the 38-year-old standing by the stationary train when he was arrested. Predator McMurray was 'immediately removed from duty as train manager for GWR' and no longer works there. He was been found guilty of sexual assault and assault by penetration as Swansea Crown Court on February 5. Last year he was sentenced to seven years in prison and put on the sex offenders register for life. Anyone who is a victim or a witness to a sexual offence on a railway has been urged to report it by texting 61016. A GWR spokesperson said: 'We are committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and trust for our customers and employees. 'As soon as we became aware of the incident, we took immediate action to remove the individual from duty and he no longer works for the business.'
