‘Bogus police officer grabs crotch’ in broad daylight at Hampstead Heath station
Detectives have issued an urgent appeal after a man posing as a police officer threatened a woman train passenger and grabbed his crotch in north London
The female victim was approached on the platform of Hampstead Heath Overground station at around 9.30am on Monday, March 11.
