McDonald's customer beaten up at Waterloo station after asking group to stop throwing chips at him

A McDonald’s customer at Waterloo station suffered a fractured eye socket in a brutal attack after asking a fellow diner to stop throwing chips at him.

British Transport Police (BTP) has released images of a suspect following the assault, which left the victim in hospital.

The force said the victim had been ordering food at the restaurant “when a large amount of chips” were thrown at him and his friend.

He asked those involved to stop, but a young man then punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the floor.

The victim was taken to hospital, where he was treated for a fractured eye socket.

The attack happened on October 4 last year at about 12.10am, and BTP is appealing for information on the male shown in the CCTV images.

Waterloo is the UK’s busiest railway station.

Anyone who recognises the male, or has information on the attack, is asked to call BTP on 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 05 of October 4, 2018.
