Description
A man has been jailed after he urinated on a train seat, chucked the seat cushion in a man’s face and sexually assaulted a woman.
Harry Burgess, 25, was travelling on a train to New Eltham with friends on April 4 when he started acting up.
At one point in the journey he exposed his genitals in full view of other passengers and urinated on a seat.
He then threw the cushion at a male passenger, hitting him in the face.
Then at New Eltham station he sexually assaulted a woman as she boarded the service.
Detective Constable Matt Smart said "Burgess’ loutish and crude behaviour was humiliating and intimidating for the woman he singled out.
“He is now serving time behind bars for his pathetic attempts to impress the friends he was travelling with. Sexual assault and violence of any kind is no joke as Burgess can now testify.”
Burgess, of Brodrick Grove in Greenwich, pleaded guilty to sexual assault and assault by beating at Bromley Magistrates’ Court.
On Monday (September 18) he was jailed for 24 weeks and handed a five-year sexual harm prevention order.
He was also ordered to pay a £154 surcharge.
DC Smart said: “We take all reports of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual behaviour seriously and will support victims throughout our investigations.
