Man needs eye surgery after being attacked for asking for Tube help at Earl’s Court station

A man needed eye surgery after being attacked at an Underground station in west London for asking which way a Tube was going.

The victim was at Earl’s Court Underground Station at roughly 5pm on January 14, when he asked a fellow male passenger if a train was travelling to Notting Hill.

The other passenger then allegedly assaulted the victim, leaving him with facial injuries to his eye which needed surgery.
