A woman has reported an alleged sexual harassment incident on a Sydney train to NSW Police after claiming she was touched multiple times while travelling from Wynyard to Epping.
The allegation was first shared by Crazy News Sydney, which said it had received material from the alleged victim, including a police statement, videos and photos.
According to the woman’s account, the incident occurred while she was seated inside a train carriage. She alleged she felt her body being touched three separate times during the journey.
When she turned around after the third alleged incident, she saw a man seated behind her and claimed he repeatedly said “I’m sorry” after being confronted.
The woman then followed the man into another carriage and tried to stop him at North Strathfield station. She also said she used the train intercom to contact staff while continuing to record the interaction on her phone.
According to Crazy News Sydney, the man later attempted to leave the scene after getting off the train, while the woman followed him and continued recording.
The woman has since filed a police report and submitted videos and photos as part of the investigation.
The Australia Today has not independently verified the footage or the full circumstances of the incident. NSW Police have been contacted for comment.
The allegation comes amid continuing concern over sexual touching and harassment on Sydney’s public transport network. Earlier this month, NSW Police charged a man over a separate alleged sexual touching incident at Werrington Railway Station. Police said at the time that officers from the North West Police Transport Command had responded after a 24-year-old woman reported being sexually touched by an unknown man.
NSW Police have also previously urged anyone with information that may assist investigations into alleged sexual assaults or sexual touching incidents to contact Crime Stoppers, reminding the public that information is handled confidentially and should not be reported through police social media pages.
Public transport safety has remained a focus for police, with previous operations targeting assaults and sexual touching incidents across Sydney’s train, bus, ferry and metro networks. Reports last year noted police and Transport for NSW had access to thousands of cameras across the public transport system to help identify offenders.
The latest allegation is now expected to be assessed by police as part of their inquiries.
