Bare Cheek: Police Hunt Mystery Male And Female

Police are hunting this bare-chested suspect and his alleged high-heeled female accomplice after two train passengers were attacked at midnight.

One of the male victims needed medical treatment after both were assaulted by an unknown man and struck to the head with a woman's shoes.

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

At approximately 11.50pm on Saturday, July 27, two men boarded a train from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex heading towards Stanford Le Hope railway station, where they left the service.

After arriving at the platform, at around 12.05am, the two men were approached by a man who attacked them. 

Then a woman who had also been on the train took off her heeled shoes and began hitting the two men in the head.

One of the men was left with injuries requiring medical treatment.

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

Anyone who recognises them, or has any other information, is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 12 of 28/07/24.
