British Transport Police officers are investigating an assault that took place at Rayleigh railway station in Essex last July, and have released a CCTV image in connection with the incident.

At around 10.30 pm on Sunday, 30 July at Rayleigh railway station a man was arguing with a woman on a train, in front of two children. Another woman tried to intervene in the disturbance, but when she went to get off the train, the man pushed her, causing the woman to fall backwards out of the train onto the platform.

British Transport Police officers would like to speak to the man shown in the image as they believe he may have information that could help their investigation.

If anyone recognises the man in the image, they are asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference number 622 of 30 July.

Alternatively, relevant information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
