Paddington Elizabeth Line Violence: Teen Group Sought After Passengers Attacked

British Transport Police have released images of people they want to speak to after several passengers were assaulted by a group of teenagers on an Elizabeth line train to Paddington.

The incident happened at around 7.30pm on Sunday 10 May, when a group of teenagers began attacking members of the public on board the train.

Police said one man was slapped by a member of the group before being threatened by the others.

The group then moved through the carriage and assaulted three more passengers. One man was elbowed in the face and spat at, another was punched and kicked by two boys and two girls, and a third man was punched and spat at.

The teenagers left the train when it arrived at Paddington.

Officers believe the people shown in the released images may have information that could assist their investigation.
