Bounds Green Station and (inset) the suspect wanted by British Transport Police

Detectives investigating an assault on a member of rail staff at Bounds Green Station have released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to.

At around 6.45am on Thursday, 20th February, a member of London Underground staff challenged a man who attempted to get through the barrier without a ticket.

The man then pushed the member of staff causing him to drop his TfL radio, which the man picked up and walked off with before later throwing it onto the tracks.

He returned to the victim and made threats of violence against him before attacking him, causing injuries to his eye.

Officers would like to speak to the man (pictured above) as they believe he could have information that could help the investigation.

Anyone who recognises him, or has any other information, is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 99 of 20th February. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
