New Images Released of East Acton Station Attack Suspects
The latest images of the pair police wish to speak to

Officers investigating a violent robbery at East Acton Underground station have released fresh images of a man and a woman they wish to speak to in connection.

At 3.30pm on Wednesday 9 February, a group including a man and a woman with two prams and young children were causing a disturbance on a westbound Central Line service.

As the train reached East Acton station, the man from the group grabbed the bag of another female passenger. She tried to get her belongings back from him, before the woman he was with proceeded to pull her off the train whilst shouting and hitting her in the face.

The victim was pushed on the floor of the platform and was repeatedly punched and kicked in the face by the woman.

The man then took the victim’s phone from her pocket before the group left the station.

Officers believe the people in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.
