Police have released CCTV images and are appealing for public assistance after an assault and robbery on a train at Lake Macquarie earlier this month.
A 28-year-old man boarded a southbound train from Broadmeadow station travelling towards Cockle Creek station about 5.30am on November 6.
As the train arrived at Cardiff station, the man - who was seated at the time - was approached from behind by an unknown male who allegedly assaulted him then dragged him to floor, where three other men also assaulted him.
