Commuter: I was sexually assaulted on the train
Ellie Cosgrave was sexually assaulted whilst travelling on a tube: "It was an extremely packed tube carriage...it was a really confusing situation...I wasn't really capable of moving away," she told 5 live Breakfast.
The number of reported sexual offences on Britain's railways is up 25% on last year, while recorded violent incidents rose by 9%.
The figures come from the British Transport Police's annual crime statistics, which show an overall drop in the number of crimes.
This year the BTP Iaunched a high-profile campaign to encourage people to report any instances of sexual offences on trains and tubes.
