Race Attack At Charing Cross Station

Police are seeking these suspected violent racist thugs after a tube train passenger was targeted and repeatedly punched in the face.

The victim's glasses were broken due to the flurry of blows and he was also on the receiving end of racist abuse at Charing Cross Underground Station.

British Transport Police (BTP) are treating the incident as a racially-aggravated assault.

At around 6.15pm on Saturday, November 4, a man in his thirties, wearing glasses and a red scarf, was queueing to enter Charing Cross Underground when two men made several racist comments towards him. 

Once he was inside the station, the two men continued to make racist remarks.

The victim started to make his way towards the Bakerloo Line, via the staircase, but because of congestion, waited at the bottom of the staircase before he could gain access to the platform. 

The two men, now at the top of the stairs, continued to shout racist comments to the man. 

One then walked down and assaulted the victim by punching him in the face multiple times, breaking his glasses.

Detectives believe the two people in the images could have information to help their investigation.
