A MAN sexually assaulted a woman and a girl on a footbridge at Darlington railway station.
British Transport Police (BTP) are reviewing CCTV footage from the area and last night appealed for witnesses.
The assault happened on Friday at about 9.30pm when the man groped a 20-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl as they used the footbridge.
A BTP spokesman said: "Thankfully, neither victim was hurt, but it is nonetheless a serious attack.
"Sexual assaults are not common on the rail system and we are conducting a thorough investigation to catch the person responsible."
Anyone with information is asked to call British Transport Police on 0800-40-50-40 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111.
