Pair Still Being Hunted For Violent Tube Train Attack

Transport police are continuing to investigate an attack on a female tube train passenger, who was repeatedly punched and kicked in the face and had her mobile phone snatched.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released these two images of their main suspects, who were with a larger noisy group on the train.

The antisocial group, which had two prams with them were travelling on a westbound Central Line service at 3.30pm on Wednesday, February 9.

As the Underground train arrived at East Acton station a man from the group grabbed the female victim's bag.

As she tried to retrieve her belongings from the man a woman in the group pulled her off the train, whilst shouting and hitting her in the face.

The victim was pushed to the platform and was repeatedly punched and kicked in the face by the woman.

The man then took the victim’s phone from her pocket and the group left the station.

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