POLICE want to speak to this man in connection with an assault at Liverpool Street station, which saw a man attacked in front of his family.

The assault happened at the Central Line Bishopsgate exit on Friday, July 4, shortly after 6.30pm. Several passers-by shouted at the attacker to stop before he ran off.

Police believe the attacker then boarded a Shenfield-bound train before getting off at Harold Wood.

PC Alex Carter said: “The victim, a 35-year-old man, was about to make his way down the stairs to the Tube with his wife and three children.

“As he prepared to pick up his two-year-old son from his buggy, another man making his way up the stairs tripped over him.

“The man then attacked the victim.”

The victim didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
