British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses after a man punched another passenger on a London Underground train travelling on the Piccadilly Line.

The incident took place between 8.20am and 8.40am on Sunday, March 31, as the train travelled towards central London. The altercation began after the victim boarded the train at Hounslow Central and asked another passenger to move some bags and a buggy that were blocking access to a seat.

The suspect is described as Black, with dreadlocks, and was wearing a grey tracksuit at the time. He was accompanied by a woman who had a buggy and a suitcase.
