British Transport Police detectives are appealing for information following an assault on a man that left him needing stitches above his eye.

The incident happened around 11.30pm on Friday, 18 October at Piccadilly Circus London Underground station.

Sergeant Anton Hunte, the investigating officer, said: “The victim, a 31-year-old man from Wandsworth, entered the station and made his way towards the Bakerloo line.

“The man was with a woman who dragged him away towards the southbound Bakerloo line platform, leaving the victim on the ground.”

Officers have carried out several lines of enquiry and are now releasing CCTV images of a man they want to talk to in connection with the incident.

“I’d urge anyone who recognises the man pictured, or who witnessed the incident, to please contact us.”
