Police are now releasing CCTV footage of a woman investigators need to speak to in connection
A railway worker had their eye socket broken in a brutal assault at Whitechapel station, police say. The staff member was attacked by a woman on the Elizabeth line platform at around 11.30am on Monday, June 29.
The perpetrator repeatedly punched the victim in the face and kicked them in the chest after being asked to stop vaping. The British Transport Police (BTP) is now releasing CCTV footage of a woman investigators want to speak to in connection.
“Officers would like to speak to the woman pictured, as they believe she may have information which could help their investigation,” the force said in a statement.
The image shows a woman in her late teens to early 20s, of slim build, with tied-back dark-coloured hair.
She is wearing a beige crop top, cream bottoms, and a bar necklace. Witnesses to the assault, or anyone who recognises the woman pictured, is urged to come forward.
Anyone who recognises her is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 234 of 29 June. Information can also be given to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
