Police have launched an investigation after a Good Samaritan was punched for defending an Asian man on an Elizabeth Line train.
The suspect began racially abusing the first victim on board a service between London Liverpool Street and Seven Kings stations just after 10pm on August 2.
British Transport Police said: “A passenger intervened on behalf of the Asian man, before the other man punched the passenger in the face.”
Detectives investigating an incident of racially aggravated assault on August 2 released an image of a man who may have information which could assist them.
“Do you recognise this man?,” a police spokesman added.
Anyone who knows who he is urged to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 822 of 2 August, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
