Teenaged girls sought in connection in with alleged assaults on train passengers

Transport police are investigating two separate assaults which took place on board Southeastern trains – when a group of teenaged girls are alleged to have assaulted two different people.

At around 9.30pm on Tuesday, March 18, a man was on the train from London Bridge to Woolwich Arsenal when a group of three girls assaulted him.

Later the same day, at around 11pm, an elderly woman was on a train from London Bridge to Erith when a girl approached her and assaulted her. Another woman intervened and the girl also tried to assault her.

It is believed the same group of teenage girls were involved in both of these incidents.

Officers believe the teenage girls in these images may have information which could help with their investigation.

Anyone who recognises them, is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 770 of 18 March.
