Police launch CCTV appeal after man suffers broken nose and ribs in unprovoked station attack

Police are looking for three people after a man suffered a broken nose and ribs in an unprovoked attack

British Transport Police have released images of three people they want to speak to after a man suffered a broken nose and ribs at a North London station.

The incident happened at around 5.50pm on Monday, May 25, at Colindale Underground Station. The victim was looking at a map on the Tube platform to plan his journey when a train arrived and a group of youths got off.

One of the group kicked the victim’s heel as he passed them, and when he challenged them, the situation escalated with the group punching and kicking the victim.

The group then all left the station while the public helped administer first aid to the victim. He was taken to the hospital, and it was there that it was discovered that he had suffered a broken nose and ribs.

Officers were called, and when they arrived, they arrested four people – three girls and a boy, all aged 15 – on suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm.

The British Transport Police have now released images of three people they would like to speak to. Anyone who recognises them is asked to text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 563 of 25 May.
