Police appeal after man hit by pram pushed down stairs at Tube station

British Transport Police have released this image in connection with an assault at Moorgate Tube station - (BTP)

Police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to after a member of the public was pushed down stairs at Moorgate Tube station.

British Transport Police officers are investigating an assault at the station in the heart of the City earlier this week.

At around 3pm on Tuesday May 20, a man who was stood at the top of the stairs, at the station entrance, was hit in the foot by a pram.

He was then pushed down the stairs by a man, hitting his head on several of the steps causing cuts and bleeding to his head.

The person who pushed him then entered the station.

Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 399 of 20 May.

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

It comes after data released last month showed the London Underground stations and Tube lines with the highest crime levels.

A total of 16,288 crimes were reported on the Tube between January and August last year – up 13 per cent on the same period the previous year.
