The family of a 32-year-old man who died after being assaulted at Liverpool Street station have paid tribute to a “fun-loving, caring and kind” man who was looking forward to getting married next year.
Thomas Jewitt, 32, was attacked on a Central line platform while travelling home from Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday, 30 August.
Emergency services were called to Liverpool Street station shortly before 11pm and Thomas was taken to hospital.
He died two days later, surrounded by his family.
In a statement released through British Transport Police, his family said: “We can’t believe that Tom has been taken from us. Tom was fun-loving, caring and kind.
“He always looked out for others, and made them feel better.
“He had a successful career in affordable housing, and a bright future that was taken away from him too soon. He was excited about marrying his fiancée next year.
“Tom is deeply loved by his family, his many, many friends, and his work colleagues. We will draw what strength we can from the wonderful memories we have of Tom.”
