A FRANKSTON woman was sexually assaulted on a train running between Carrum and Mordialloc stations, 7.30am, Tuesday 13 September.
The woman told police she was sitting in a carriage by herself when a man got in and sat down beside her and began touching her thigh with his fingers.
Initially she thought the touching was accidental and that the man had a problem with his personal space. However, when the touching became firmer and more consistent, the woman became scared and moved to another seat.
She said the man did not speak to her and got off several stops later. Police are examining in-train CCTV to help identify the man.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
