A 17-year-old girl was harassed in broad daylight by a man as she left Nottingham train station to meet her mum.
The man walked behind the girl over the bridge leading from platform seven to the station car park.
He asked for her phone number and if she had a boyfriend.
The girl, of the Nottingham area, ignored him and carried on walking but he continued to follow her, making “explicit and lewd comments and requests”.
He remained behind the girl into the car park and up to her mum’s car. He then stood next to the car, staring into it.
British Transport Police are appealing for help with their investigation, into the incident which happened at 2.45pm on Sunday, July 20 - when the station may have been busy.
They have released CCTV images of a man they believe may have key information which could assist them.
PC Mark Burgess, the investigating officer, said: "This naturally caused her some distress and alarm and she asked him to go away and leave her alone.
“Unwanted sexual behaviour of any kind on the rail network and surrounding areas will not be tolerated. Fortunately incidents of this nature are rare but, when they do occur, we will do all we can to track down those responsible.
“If you recognise the man pictured, or have any information about the incident, I would urge you to please come forward and talk to us. Your information could prove vital to this investigation.”
A spokesman for East Midlands Trains, which operates the station, said: “We do not tolerate inappropriate behaviour on our stations and will be working with the British Transport Police to find the person responsible.
“Everybody has the right to feel safe and secure when travelling with us. The safety and security of our passengers and staff is our top priority.”
