Hunt for gang of yobs who 'chucked woman's phone on train tracks during violent attack'

A young woman was left with three fractured cheekbones and a swollen eye following a brutal assault, police say.

The assault took place at around 12am on August 29, on a service between London Waterloo and Farnborough.

British Transport Police say the victim got into a verbal altercation with a woman in the same carriage while on the journey.

The woman then leapt over the seat and repeatably punched the victim in the head before she was pulled away, the force said.

The victim and her friend then moved away from the woman before getting off the train at Farnborough Main station.

But there they encountered the same woman with two men at the station’s taxi rank, a statement added.

It said: "The two men then followed the victim and her friend back into the station before taking their phones and throwing them - one onto the tracks and the other onto the platform.

"One of the men also attacked her a second time.

"As a result of the attack, the victim suffered three fractured bones in her face and severe swelling to her eye.

"Officers believe the people in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.
