A Forest Gate man has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl on a bus.

Sadikur Rahman, 40, of Shrewsbury Road, appeared at East London Magistrates’ Court on Friday charged with two counts of sexual assault.

He has been bailed to appear at the same court on October 5.

The charges relate to incidents that happened on board the route 339 bus on separate occasions earlier this year, both involving the same girl.
