THIS is the horrifying moment a sick sex attacker beat two women on a busy London bus after groping them.
Abdul Yusuf, 31, launched a series of violent attacks during a bizarre daylight spree in North London after one of the women told him to go away.
And he’s now been jailed for more than four years – with cops labelling the defendant “very dangerous”.
On the day of the attacks, the victims were waiting for a bus when Yusuf approached one and tried to talk to her.
But when she told him to “go away” the predator grabbed her wrist and warned: “You’re not going anywhere.”
The victim said he smiled broadly while staring into her eyes – and told her: “You know you want it.”
He then assaulted her in the street before she managed to break free and board the bus.
Yusuf then boarded too – immediately assaulting the second victim as he stood behind him. When she turned to confront him, he slapped her across the face.
Vile Yusuf then turned back to the first victim, who had her phone in her hand, and tried to grab it from her.
As she battled back, he shoved her onto the floor and held her down with the palm of his hand on her chest so hard she struggled to breathe before punching her in the face.
As the woman struggled to stand and get away, Yusuf bit her on the back, causing her to scream with pain.
He then battered her again before getting off the bus and walking away.
However, the second victim had recorded the whole incident. She called police, who launched a manhunt for Yusuf.
DNA hits from the attack showed he was also a suspect for another sexual assault, a robbery and fraud.
Police learned Yusuf had befriended another woman before pushing her to the ground, biting her and sexually assaulting her.
The thug was arrested in Cornwall – and today, he was sentenced to four years and four months’ behind bars, as well as four more years on licence, for three counts of sexual assault, two of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, one of common assault, one of robbery and two of fraud.
PC Bowman, of the Met Police, said: “This sentencing shows the seriousness of Yusuf’s actions and has put a very dangerous man behind bars.
“To assault three women in this way will not be tolerated, and from the footage, we can see how violent his actions were.
“The impact that crimes like this have on the victims is significant and long-lasting and I thank them for their bravery in reporting this to the police and playing their part in bringing Yusuf to justice.”
Transport for London director Siwan Hayward said the attack was “terrible and frightening”.
“All our customers have the right to travel on our network without fear of abuse, assault or intimidation.” he said.
