British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating and have released these images of their suspects.
They are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying them.
The first violent incident occurred on Saturday, September 11 on a train travelling from Dartford, Kent to Charing Cross in central London.
At approximately 5.45pm the female victim and a separate group boarded the train in Slade Green, south London.
Individuals within that group began yelling at one another and causing a disturbance on the train.
The victim asked them to quieten down a little, but in response was threatened by one member of the group, who also deliberately barged into her.
The victim fled to another carriage, but was pursued by the group, who then started attacking her – kicking her in the head and hitting her with glass bottles.
She managed to get off the train at Erith station with other passengers, who provided first aid before she was treated at hospital.
The group stayed on the London-bound train.
In the second incident, at approximately 7pm, the victims, a couple, were on a Charing Cross to Dartford train when a group of people they didn’t know started verbally abusing them.
One girl from the group started attacking the female victim with a wine bottle before the rest of the group attacked them both.
Both victims were pulled to safety by other passengers, who were also assaulted by the group.
The victims got off the train at Belvedere station and the group stayed on the train.
The victims were treated for facial and head injuries at a local hospital.
Officers believe those in the images may have information which could help their investigation.
