A gang of muggers threatened to stab a tube train passenger while trying to rob him of his mobile phone.

The victim was standing on the platform with his partner when targeted and assaulted by three unknown wannabe robbers.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released these CCTV images of their suspects.
