CCTV images released following robbery on Metropolitan Line

Do you recognise this man?

Detectives investigating a report of robbery and assault on the London Underground are today releasing these images in connection.

At around 3.30pm on 22 October, a man sat next to a woman on the Metropolitan Line service between Preston Road and Wembley Park and demanded her belongings. She managed to move away from the man before he turned his attention to another passenger.

He then 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.
