Appeal for assault victims to come forward – Essex

Officers investigating an incident on a train from Stratford to Rayleigh are today appealing for further information.

At just after midnight on Wednesday 13 April two men were causing a disturbance whilst boarding the train, swearing, and holding the train doors open.

When they were on the train, one of the men pushed another man out of the way to sit down. The other man was threatening passengers with a wine bottle and pinned another male passenger against the side of the train in an aggressive manner.

The victims have not yet made contact with the police and despite local enquiries, officers have been unable to identify them. Officers are appealing for them to come forward to assist the investigation.
