A lone mugger is wanted for a London Underground robbery spree, which saw three victims aggressively targeted within minutes.
A female and male passenger travelling on an afternoon tube train were the first victims, followed by a teenage boy on a station platform.
British Transport Police (BTP) have released this CCTV image of their suspect.
They are requesting the assistance of the public to help identify him.
BTP are treating the investigation as robbery and assault.
At approximately 3.30pm on Tuesday, October 22 last year, a male sat next to the female victim on the Metropolitan Line service between Preston Road and Wembley Park stations.
He demanded her belongings a she managed to move away from him before he turned his attention to another passenger.
He made the same demand of another man on the train and the pair were involved in an altercation.
As the train pulled into Wembley Park he picked the up the victim’s bags and left the train.
Once on the platform he assaulted a teenage boy and demanded his money, but the boy managed to get away.
Officers believe the man in the CCTV images may have information that could help their investigation.
They are also appealing for the boy who was assaulted to come forward.
