British Transport Police has launched an appeal for information after two passengers were subjected to "homophobic and racist incident" abuse at Pimlico Tube Station.

The police said an elderly man was pushed off a train on the Victoria line southbound between Green Park and Pimlico on Friday March 10 at around 1.30pm.

A man who was travelling on the service became abusive and loud, before pushing the man from the train at Victoria, the police said.

A 33-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman challenged the behaviour of the man.

The victims left the train at Pimlico, where the abuse continued until the man left the station on a northbound train.
