Police have released images of suspects wanted in connection with a knife attack on a Good Samaritan who tried to stop a robbery on the London Underground.

Just before 11pm on Monday, December 29, a group of people threatened an elderly man on a Metropolitan Line train heading to Northwick Park station.

Another passenger tried to help but was attacked by the group, who slashed him with a knife and left a cut above his eyebrow.

The group then fled Northwick Park Underground station having stolen the man's bag.
