No Love In This Elevator: Police Investigate Railway Station Assault

A teenage girl had her hair pulled and was struck to the face during a violent row with a mystery woman in a railway station lift.

British Transport Police (BTP) are treating the incident as a “serious assault” as their investigation continues.

Investigating officers have released this CCTV image of the suspect.

They are requesting the assistance of members of the public to help identify her.

At approximately 2.50pm on Friday, March 15, the 14-year-old victim entered the lift at Tilbury Town railway station. 

A woman with a small child then entered the elevator and an altercation ensued before the woman pulled the teenage girl’s hair and hit her in the face.
