CCTV appeal after man punched in head on train after argument over talking on phone

Police have issued a CCTV appeal after a man was repeatedly punched in the head on a train after getting into an argument with a boy speaking loudly on a phone.

The victim was on board a train travelling between Manchester Piccadilly and Crewe at around 8pm on February 18 when the two were involved in a 'verbal alternation.'

The man then moved down the train to get off at Holmes Chapel - but was followed by the boy who repeatedly punched him in the head. The attacker then got off at Crewe and boarded a Cardiff-bound service.
