The ‘horrific’ late night attack happened last Saturday. A man approached a lone woman between Waterloo and Lambeth North towards the end of the line and exposed himself to her. He then forcibly pulled her out of her seat and down to the ground where he tried to rape her. The woman fought back and fled the carriage when it stopped at Lambeth North shortly before midnight and alerted Tube staff. Sig
