Woman wanted after swinging handbag attack injures multiple women

The British Transport Police (BTP) have released an image of a woman they want to speak to after an assault at Southwark Tube station last month.

Between 9.45am and 10am on  April 2, a woman entered the station and caused facial injuries to multiple women by swinging her handbag around.

Officers believe the woman in the image may have information that could help their investigation.

A spokesman for the BTP said: “Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016, or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference number 2400042028.

“Alternatively, call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.”
