The British Transport Police has launched a CCTV appeal to identify a woman of interest
Several London Underground passengers were subjected to a tirade of racial abuse aboard a late-night train, police say. A woman made the vile outburst on a Victoria line service between Victoria and Oxford Circus at around 10.30pm on July 30.
She alighted at the latter station and is yet to be identified or located. The British Transport Police (BTP) is now releasing a CCTV image of a woman in connection with the incident.
“Officers would like to speak to the woman pictured, as they believe she may have information that could help their investigation,” the force said in a statement.
The footage shows a middle-aged White woman, of average build, with brown or ginger hair in a half-tied-up style. She is wearing a black t-shirt, dark-coloured trousers, and brown open-toed sandals.
She also has a tattoo on her upper right arm and is carrying a colourful crossbody bag. Anyone who recognises her is urged to contact BTP as soon as possible.
Elsewhere in London, police have launched a CCTV appeal after a woman was upskirted at a Tube station in Newham. A man reportedly pointed his phone up at a woman using the escalator at West Ham during rush hour on July 24.
Anyone who recognises the woman pictured is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 817 of 30 July. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
