Authorities are seeking the public’s assistance in an ongoing investigation following an assault that transpired at Rayleigh Train Station, Essex. British Transport Police are releasing an image of a man they believe could hold crucial information related to the incident, which occurred on Sunday, July 30, at approximately 22.30 BST
The incident, which unfolded on a late Sunday evening, involved a disturbing altercation aboard a train, leaving witnesses and passengers deeply shaken. A man and a woman were engaged in a heated argument on the train, with two children present as witnesses to the confrontation.
As the argument escalated, another woman on the train attempted to intervene, likely motivated by concern for those involved and the children present. In the course of her intervention, when she decided to exit the train, the man reportedly pushed her with significant force. This action resulted in the woman falling backward from the train onto the platform.
The man captured in the image is considered a person of interest in this case, and investigators are eager to speak with him to gain insight into the events leading up to the assault and gather any additional details that could shed light on the incident.
Members of the public who may recognise the individual in the released image or have any information relevant to this investigation are urged to come forward. Authorities have provided two methods of contact for individuals willing to provide information by text the British Transport Police at 61016. Alternatively, you can call 0800 40 50 40, referencing reference number 622 of July 30.
