"Are You A Muslim?": BTP Continue Probing Suspected Hate Crime

Transport cops investigating a suspected hate crime on the London Underground are continuing to appeal for the public's help.

British Transport Police (BTP) have again released this CCTV image of their number one suspect in the hope somebody will identify him.

Just after 8pm at Oxford Circus Underground station on August 23, last year the victim stepped off a southbound Bakerloo Line train and onto the platform.

He was approached by a young man he didn’t know who asked if he was Muslim.

A verbal exchange took place before the victim was lifted into the air and thrown to the floor.

This caused facial injuries and bruising to his limbs and body.

If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 439 of 23/08/20.

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