Phone thief dragged woman from London train and punched her to the ground in horror attack

Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to after a woman was dragged from a train and punched during a terrifying attempted robbery.

The victim was travelling on a Greater Anglia train from Stratford station at around 10.50pm on Saturday, April 19, when a man tried to snatch her phone.

She resisted, and was then dragged onto the platform at Waltham Cross station and punched to the ground.

Officers investigating the incident believe the man in the CCTV image may have information that could help with their enquiries.

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 867 of 19 April.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
