A north London train passenger had his head slammed into a station ticket machine in a “nasty and unprovoked” attack.
The man was assaulted while using a machine at the entrance hall of Highbury and Islington station at 9.50pm on November 6, police said.
Detective Constable David Bishop, from British Transport Police, said: “Fortunately the man who suffered the attack sustained only minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.
“Nevertheless, this was a nasty and unprovoked attack on a passenger and his injuries could have been far worse.
“Everyone has the right to travel in comfort and without fear of cowardly attacks such as this.”
Police have today released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the attack.
Anyone with information should call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting ESUB/B2 of 7/1/16.
