Manhunt launched after two women sexually assaulted in linked incidents on London Underground

The first incident took place on May 8 when a woman was assaulted on a busy Circle Line train at Liverpool Street. The second occurred on July 1, when another woman was attacked on the Victoria Line at Seven Sisters station.
