CCTV RELEASED FOLLOWING STATION ASSAULT ^ CARDIFF
British Transport Police (BTP▸ ) detectives investigating an assault at Cardiff Central railway station are appealing for the public^s help in identifying a person they would like to speak to about the incident.
Officers have today released CCTV images of a man they believe may have information which could assist their investigation.
Investigating officer PC Steve Barr said: ^The victim, a 27-year-old woman, had just arrived into platform 6 at Cardiff Central and as she got off the train, was assaulted by a man. She immediately confronted him about his actions and he then became aggressive before leaving with a group of other men.
^This was a traumatic assault and, understandably, an extremely upsetting experience for the victim. This sort of behaviour is completely unacceptable.^
The incident took place around 9.20pm on Saturday, 15 October 2011 ^ the day Wales lost to France in the Rugby World Cup semi-final.
Officers have made a number of enquiries as part of the investigation, and have worked closely with South Wales Police to try to trace the man responsible.
Today, BTP detectives are releasing an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident.
^The man, who was of thin build, was wearing a black fleece and blue jeans, had short brown hair and was in his 50s,^ said PC Barr. ^We believe he got on a train bound for Merthyr and was in the company of a number of younger men.
^We are now asking for the public^s help to identify this man. If you think you can name him, or if you are the man himself, we want to hear from you.
^Incidents such as this are rare on the railway network, but are always treated very seriously. I urge anyone with any information, or who recognises the man in the CCTV image, to come forward.^
Anyone with information should contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 quoting background reference B25/WCA▸ of 14/12/2011. Information can also be passed to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
