Officers Investigating A Serious Assault On Board A Train From Gatwick To Clapham Junction Have Released These Images Of A Suspect
 
At 8.50pm on Monday 11 October, a man was trying to enter an occupied toilet on the train. He attempted to open it and was banging on the door.

A man came out of the toilet and the other man entered. A few seconds later the man opened the door of the toilet and an altercation broke out between them.

The man headbutted the victim, who then fell to the floor and he pressed his finger into his eyes. Other passengers intervened and separated them.

The victim attended the hospital for treatment to damage to his eyes.

Officers believe the man in the image may have information that could help their investigation.
