Victoria’s Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance after an alleged upskirting incident on a tram in Docklands late on 25 October.
Police said the victim, a woman in her 40s, was travelling with a friend when they boarded a route 70 tram outside Marvel Stadium just before midnight.
It is reported that partway through the journey, another passenger noticed a man sitting opposite the woman allegedly using his mobile phone to film under her skirt.
The passenger raised the alarm, prompting the woman and her friend to confront the offender. They compelled the man to delete the footage before he exited the tram along Flinders Street.
Investigators have now released a digital image of a man they believe may be able to assist with enquiries. He is described as being of Indian appearance, aged in his late 30s to early 40s, with short black hair and a solid build. At the time, he was wearing a denim jacket with a white sheepskin-style collar.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that could help identify the man is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report via the Crime Stoppers Victoria website.
