West Midlands Police have issued a public appeal to identify a man following a sexual assault on a teenage girl in Birmingham. The incident took place at approximately 5:15 pm on Sunday 2 November 2025 on the 11A bus, which was travelling from Erdington towards Acocks Green.
Despite extensive enquiries and a thorough review of CCTV footage, investigators have so far been unable to identify the individual involved. Officers acknowledge that while the incident occurred several months ago and the available images are of limited quality, they are hopeful that releasing the footage will lead to new information from the public.
Incident Details and Investigation
The victim, a young girl, was subjected to the assault while the bus was in transit between the north and south-east areas of the city. Detectives from the local policing unit are leading the investigation and are urging anyone who may have been on the bus at the time or who recognises the man in the CCTV images to come forward.
West Midlands Police have confirmed that specialist support is being provided to the victim as the investigation continues. Officers are particularly interested in speaking with passengers who may have witnessed any suspicious or inappropriate behaviour during the late afternoon journey on the 11A Outer Circle route.
