Police are hunting a man who reportedly masturbated in front of passengers on a train from London Paddington to Cardiff.

The incident happened around 12.10pm on September 9.

"A person exposed themselves and was masturbating until they were challenged," a British Transport Police spokesperson said.

"They later left the train at Swindon."

Detectives on Wednesday released two CCTV images of a man they want to trace in connection with the incident.
