A YOUNG blind woman has been groped in two separate incidents within hours, while travelling through Sydney.



Police on Wednesday released CCTV footage of a man they believe can help with their inquiries.


The 23-year-old woman said an unknown person touched on her breast in an elevator at Ashfield, in Sydney's inner west, between 11am and midday (AEST) on July 17, police say.


She later felt a hand on her breast while she was on a train in the city's south, between Jannali and Sutherland railway stations, when she also heard a man talking to her.


The man followed the woman when she moved to another seat and continued speaking to her, before leaving her alone after a short discussion, she told police.


Police want to speak to a man described as of Indian appearance with a thin build, who was seen carrying a backpack and wearing a distinctive brown and white striped jacket.


Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
