Station Punch Tragedy: Police Release E-Fit

Police continue to hunt a train station thug after a middle-aged commuter died three months after being punched unconscious.

The British Transport Police have released this e-fit of their suspect as they attempt to trace the wanted man.

At 11.05am on November 26, last year at St. Mary Cray station in south-east London the 50 year-old victim was punched on the ramp entrance.

The man fell unconscious and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.

He remained there for approximately 15 weeks, but sadly passed away at home on February 15, just three days after being discharged.

A post-mortem examination revealed he died of head and neck injuries, believed to have been sustained from a fall at his home.

Detectives are continuing to try and trace an individual in connection with the assault in November. 

He is described as a black man, of athletic build, and around 6 feet tall.

He was wearing a long black raincoat which had the hood up and tight grey trousers or jeans. 

He was also wearing white Nike trainers with a white tick.

Officers are now appealing to anyone in the local area who may recognise the man in the e-fit picture to get in touch with them as soon as possible.

Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 204 of 26/11/19.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
