British Transport Police (BTP) have launched an appeal for information after a man was beaten up outside Liverpool Street station, the country's busiest station. The attack occurred in broad daylight on Saturday, September 19, at approximately 3:30pm, outside one of the station's exits.
Police were called to the scene and found the victim, who was then rushed to a nearby hospital by paramedics. The man sustained a broken collarbone, a gash on his head that required staples, and had two teeth knocked out. No arrests have been made, as those responsible had fled before officers arrived.
BTP release images of two men in connection with the attack
BTP have released pictures of two men they believe could help with their investigation. The force is urging anyone who recognises them or has any information relating to the incident to come forward.
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 456 of 19 September. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Appeal for witnesses after serious assault
The attack took place in the middle of the afternoon, a time when the area around Liverpool Street station is typically busy with commuters and pedestrians. The station is one of the busiest in the country, and BTP are hoping that members of the public may have seen something relevant.
Police have not yet confirmed whether the victim and the attackers were known to each other, and the motive for the attack remains unclear. The investigation is ongoing, and BTP are appealing for anyone with information to come forward to assist with their inquiries.
The victim's injuries, while serious, are not believed to be life-threatening. He remains in hospital receiving treatment for his injuries, including the broken collarbone and head wound.
