Police launch hunt for man who broke woman’s leg at Waterloo station

A manhunt is under way for a suspect who allegedly broke a woman’s leg after running into her at a south London railway station.

The suspect was running through London Waterloo station just before 11pm on Thursday, April 17, when he collided with the woman, throwing her into another woman and causing her to fracture her tibia, police say.

British Transport Police has released an image of a man they would like to speak to, as they believe he may have information which could help with their investigation.

The image shows a smiling man with dark hair wearing a dark grey jacket, black trousers, dark shoes and a light-grey pullover.
