A sex creep is wanted over two cunning assaults on females on board peak hour trains in Melbourne.
The offender stood close to his victim and inappropriately touched her on board a packed Hurstbridge bound train about 5.40pm on August 28.
The victim tried to get away but she was followed by the predator who assaulted her again.
He tried to conceal the attacks beneath a laptop bag or briefcase.
But they were witnessed by sickened passengers who stepped in to stop him.
The ordeal lasted from Richmond station until the offender got off the train at Westgarth station.
Police believe he used the same tactics to sexually assaulted another female on board a Lilydale bound train a week later.
He used a briefcase or laptop to hide himself getting close to another victim and sexually assaulting her about 6pm on September 4.
On this occasion the male got off the train at Camberwell station.
Police have released images of a man they wish to speak to over the assaults.
He was wearing a dark coloured beanie, dark coloured scarf, long light coloured top, black pants and a black bag.
