British Transport Police (BTP) have launched a public appeal for information following a violent robbery at Waterloo Underground station that left a man with a head injury requiring hospital treatment.
Details of the Violent Attack
The incident occurred at approximately 6.20am on Friday, November 21. The victim was walking towards the Bakerloo line platforms when he was approached and assaulted by a group of men.
The attackers pushed the man down a flight of stairs, causing him to strike his head. After the fall, the group stole his wallet before fleeing the scene. The victim was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment of the injury sustained in the attack.
