Train 'No Smoking' Assault

A late-night train passenger received a bloody nose when he complained about two men smoking in the carriage.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released these images of their suspects and are requesting the assistance of the public in identifying them.

Two men boarded the Charing Cross to Gravesend, Kent train at 0.45am on Sunday, October 10.

Despite the 'No Smoking' signs the pair immediately lit up.

The male victim moved away and challenged the pair about their behaviour as he walked past them.

One of the men jumped up and punched him repeatedly in the face, causing his nose to bleed.

The victim then got off the train at New Eltham station.

Officers believe the men in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.

If you recognise them, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 36 of 10/10/21.

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