A 16-year-old boy feared he would be stabbed during a violent bike robbery at West Drayton station.

On Wednesday (December 13), detectives from British Transport Police released CCTV images of two men they think could help the investigation into the incident on Sunday (November 5).

At around 7pm, a 16-year-old boy was on the platform with a friend when they were both approached by two men, who then grabbed hold of the victim's bike, according to police.

After the teenager refused to hand over his bike, one man reached into his bag and threatened to stab the victim if he did not comply. A weapon was not shown to the victim.

The 16-year-old ran out of the station fearing he would be stabbed, said a British Transport Police spokesman, who added that the victim was not injured.
