CCTV images released following attempted robbery on train

British Transport Police (BTP) have released CCTV images of two men following an attempted robbery on a train.

The incident took place at around 10.30pm on August 23. The victim was travelling on a train heading towards New Cross railway station when he noticed two people acting suspiciously towards him. 

As he got off the train and attempted to raise his concerns to staff, he was approached by two men who threatened him with a knife and demanded his bike, BTP said.

The victim was able to get to a place of safety with his bike and the men left.

Officers believe the men in the CCTV images may have information that could help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises them, or has any other information, is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 738 of 23 August.
