Violent Brawl on Central Line: Woman Dragged and Attacked at East Acton

A nasty scrap erupted on a westbound Central Line train at 3.30pm last Wednesday, February 9. A man and woman, pushing two prams with young kids, caused chaos onboard before unleashing violence on a female passenger.

Shocking Attack on Platform

As the train pulled into East Acton station, the man snatched a woman’s bag. When she tried to get it back, his female companion violently yanked her off the train. She shouted abuse and punched her right in the face. The victim was then shoved to the platform floor, where the attacker repeatedly punched and kicked her in the face.

The thug then stole the victim’s phone from her pocket before the group fled the scene.
