Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward regarding the unsettling approach to a mother and her child

Police are searching for a man who allegedly approached a mother and her baby at Guy’s Hospital on March 21. The incident took place while the mother was waiting for a lift, when the man touched the baby. The mother immediately asked him to stop, and he complied before leaving the premises.

Detective Inspector Fiona Fraser stated, “This was clearly extremely concerning for the mother, and we are trying to establish the full facts of what occurred. At this time, there have been no similar incidents reported, and we hope this man will come forward to speak with us, or someone else may provide information.”

Fortunately, the baby was not physically harmed, but police have released an image of the man in hopes of identifying him. DI Fraser emphasized, “Our enquiries have led us to believe that this man may be able to assist with the investigation, which is why we are releasing this image.”

Anyone with information is urged to call 101, quoting CAD2533/22MAR23, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
