Sexual assaults soar on London Underground, up 192% in five years

Reports of sexual assaults on London Underground have almost tripled in five years.

Figures obtained by ITV London show there were 828 cases last year. One victim, Zoe Burt, was assaulted in the middle of the morning rush hour on a crowded platform.

Across the whole Transport for London network, including buses and overground trains, there were more than 2,300 sexual assaults last year, an average of six every day.

The message from both police and Transport for London is that with more suspects being caught, the more victims come forward.

That's why they applaud the increasing number of people reporting their experiences.
