Assault on train travelling through Medway Towns – Kent

Do you recognise this woman?

Officers investigating an assault on-board a service travelling between Chatham and Gillingham, Kent, are today releasing CCTV images in connection.

On Saturday 5 December 2020 at around 9pm, the victim and her daughter were approached by a woman who tried to sell her a watch. The victim declined, and the woman walked up the carriage before coming back to the victim and trying to snatch her bag.     

The victim managed to get her bag back, however an item of clothing fell out. The woman grabbed the item and when trying to get it back the victim was repeatedly punched in the face before another passenger intervened.  

Officers believe the woman in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.
