A man has been grabbed by the throat and pushed after he confronted someone taking pictures of women on the train.

British Transport Police have released CCTV images after an assault on the Elizabeth Line service between Paddington and Ealing Broadway.

 Just before 10pm on Saturday, March 16, while on board an Elizabeth Line service, a couple noticed a man taking pictures of women on board the train.

They confronted the individual, who proceeded to assault the man, grabbing him by the throat and pushing him back.   

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

A British Transport Police spokesperson said: "Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 843 of 16 March 2024. 

"Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
