Police hunt man who attacked TfL worker at north London station

Police are appealing for information after a Transport for London worker was assaulted at a north London station.

A man who was attempting to travel with no ticket at Wembley Central railway station started making abusive comments towards a member of rail staff working at the gate line at 11.50am on July 8.

Police said the man forced his way through the barrier and pushed the member of staff before leaving the station.

The British Transport Police (BTP) released a CCTV image today of a man they say may have information that could help their investigation.

It comes after, in a separate incident, a TfL worker was racially abused and chased at Canada Water station after telling a customer he could not board a train with his bicycle.

After being told he could not board the train, the suspect allegedly racially abused the member of staff and threatened him with harm.

Anyone who recognises the man who may have information about the Wembley Central station incident is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40.

In both cases, quote reference number 186 of 08/07/2020. Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
