Police are working to trace a Maga influencer and her financier boyfriend over a racially aggravated assault in central London.
The British Transport Police (BTP) said they believe the couple are no longer in the UK. The duo were identified by media publications as Melissa Rein Lively and Philip Ostermann.
Officers released a photo of the pair and issued an appeal to identify them following an assault that occurred at the entrance of Bond Street Tube station. The incident involved a woman who was with her sister and two young children, one of whom was in a pushchair.
Mr Ostermann is thought to have departed the UK on 14 October, and Ms Rein Lively on 24 October.
Officers previously said they believe the man and woman “do not reside in the UK”.
The incident started when a man and woman were walking together in front of the family into the station and the woman collided with the pushchair at around 7:30pm.
The man then began shouting racial abuse at the victim and her family, before the woman grabbed her hair, police said.
When the victim tried to defend herself the man pulled out a small bottle and said it was pepper spray before spraying it in the direction of the victim and her family, according to officers.
BTP said the woman shouted abuse and made lewd gestures at them before both groups left the scene.
Ms Rein Lively, 40, is the Arizona-based owner of the America First PR firm. The group describes itself as “America’s #1 Anti-Woke PR Firm” and, according to its website, is planning to launch a European arm named “Europe First PR.”
Her partner Mr Ostermann is the associate director of private equity firm Aequita.
A spokesperson for the force said: “We continue efforts to make contact with and speak to them, and from there we will determine the next steps in the investigation.
“We are in contact with the victim and her family and are keeping them updated regularly as the investigation continues.”
