Police have released new images in a bid to trace a man who punched and kicked a commuter unconscious after bumping into him at a station.

The 22-year-old victim was walking through Harrow on the Hill station when he bumped into the alleged attacker.

Police say the attacker, who had already argued with a group of men on the station stairs, repeatedly punched and kicked the man to the floor before a worker at Harrow on the Hill station rushed to help.

The victim was left lying unconscious on the floor of the station and suffered cuts, bruises and a broken cheek bone.

“I would also like to thank the brave member of staff who intervened and stopped the man attacking this victim.

“Had he have not done that, the injuries could have been far worse.”

Detective Church added: “This man left the train at Pinner station so I believe he has connections there. If you recognise him, please do contact us.”
