British Transport Police (BTP) has released the picture of a man they would like to talk to in connection with an assault on a train earlier this year.

The incident happened on a westbound District Line train just after midnight on August 22 when a man started an argument with a woman, making reference to the fact she was Polish, BTP said.

According to the BTP, when the train stopped in Hammersmith , the man punched the victim in the face, knocking her to the ground.

“Violence and hate crime have no place on our transport system and we are committed to stamping them out." said Investigating officer, Det Con Denis Mahoney.

“Behaviour of this kind is completely unacceptable and so I urge anyone who recognises this man to get in touch with us.”

British Transport Police is asking anyone with information to contact them on 0800 40 50 40 or by sending a text to 61016, quoting 235 of 02/11/2016
