A WOMAN has alleged she was sexually assaulted while getting onto a train, as cops release images and appeal for witnesses to come forward.
British Transport Police (BTP) have launched a probe and issued CCTV stills of a man they want to question.
Two grainy images have been put out by the BTP following reports of a woman being sexually assaulted.
A BTP spokesperson said that at around 11am on Thursday, July 31, a woman in her 20s was boarding a train at Hartlepool railway station when she was sexually assaulted.
“Officers believe the man in the images could have information that may assist their enquiries,” they said.
