Exposed: Police Released Images Of Bare-Chested Suspect

Police are hunting this bare-chested suspect after a female tube train passenger was subjected to abuse and a male who intervened was assaulted.

The ugly incident occurred just after midnight onboard a Piccadilly Line train travelling through west London on Thursday, February 26.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released these images and are requesting members of the assist in identifying him.

As the late-night service travelled between Acton Town and Osterley a passenger began acting aggressively and made homophobic and racist remarks towards the young woman.

The male passenger stepped in to help the young woman, and a fight broke out between the men, with the passenger who intervened sustaining minor injuries.

The bare-chested male then left the train at Osterley Underground station.

Officers would like to speak to the man pictured, as they believe he may have information that can help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises him or witnessed the incident is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference number 10 of 26 February.

Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
