Man shoved off train – South West London

Do you recognise this man?

Officers investigating an assault on-board a train at Raynes Park railway station are today releasing this image in connection.

At just before 11am on Sunday 4 July, a man started talking the victim from the other side of the train carriage, saying it was ridiculous that he was sanitising his hands. The service was travelling between Stoneleigh and Raynes Park stations at the time.

The victim then stood up to alert staff at Raynes Park station when the man grabbed his phone and started waving it in the air. The victim managed to get his phone back and positioned himself at the train doors to get the attention of station staff on the platform.

The man then pushed the victim from behind, causing him to land on the platform. As a result of the incident the victim suffered cuts to his arms and lost his glasses.

Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.
