British Transport Police have issued a public appeal and released CCTV footage following a serious assault on a woman at a busy North London railway station.
Appeal for Information After Platform Assault
The incident occurred on the platform at West Hampstead Thameslink station at approximately 4.40pm on Sunday, November 30. According to police reports, a man approached a woman on the platform and assaulted her.
The victim managed to defend herself by pushing the assailant away, after which he fled down the platform. Officers are now conducting a thorough investigation into the attack and are keen to trace the individual pictured in the newly released images.
Man in CCTV Images May Hold Vital Information
Investigators believe the man captured on station CCTV cameras may possess information crucial to their inquiry. While they wish to speak to him, they have not specified whether he is considered a suspect or a potential witness.
The released images show a clear view of the individual, whom police hope will be recognised by members of the public. The appeal underscores the importance of community assistance in solving crimes on the transport network.
