DetCon Sally Everritt, the investigating officer, said: “The victim was travelling home from school and boarded at Chadwell Heath.
“Shortly after taking a seat, she was approached by a man who sat down next her and began talking to her.
“He then pulled her into the rear carriage and touched her indecently.
“The train arrived at Maryland whereby she ran from the carriage and fled the station. The incident was then reported to police.”
The man also got off the train at Maryland but had left the station by the time police arrived.
