Who's Hoodie?: Police Hunt Suspect After Tube Train Assault

A tube train passenger suffered cuts and bruises after a mystery hooded male sitting opposite, jumped up and repeatedly punched him to the head.

British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating the assault.

They have released these images of their suspect and are requesting the assistance of the public to help identify him.

At approximately 9.55am on Wednesday, February 4 the victim was travelling on a Jubilee Line Underground train near Westminster station, when the unknown male began gesticulating toward him.

The victim asked what he was saying and the man then jumped to his feet and reigned blows down on the passenger.

Other passengers intervened to separate the two men, before he launched a second assault on the victim.

The victim attended hospital and received treatment for bruising and cuts to his face, head and shoulder.

Officers believe the man in the image may have information that can help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises the man or witnessed the incident is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016, or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference number 2600014624.
