New South Wales police have started a manhunt after a teenage boy was allegedly detained and sexually assaulted by a stranger in a bathroom at one of Sydney's biggest train stations.
NSW Police said a 15-year-old boy was allegedly assaulted at Country Concourse at Central Station at about 3pm on Saturday.
"The man allegedly detained the teenager in a toilet and sexually assaulted him before leaving the scene," police said.
Police said the man then boarded a train to Mortdale - which is a suburb about 20km south of the CBD - where he disembarked and left the station.
The 15-year-old boy reported the assault to his mother, who then contacted the police.
Police have now started a manhunt and describe him as being Caucasian in appearance, about 180cm tall and with a solid build. He is believed to be aged between 40 and 50, with a white beard.
Officers said he was seen wearing a black and fluorescent jacket with a black T-shirt, jeans and black sneakers.
