A train conductor was assaulted at Nuneaton railway station after asking to see a man’s ticket.



The 48-year-old victim was working on a service from Crewe to London when he asked to see a passenger’s ticket before he boarded the train in Nuneaton.

The man became abusive and started to push the conductor before leaving the station.

The incident happened at around 2.30pm on December 30 and British Transport Police (BTP) have released a CCTV image of a man they believe can help with their investigations.

PC Carl Johnson said: “Nobody should be treated this way simply for doing their job and this sort of aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated on the rail network.

“Our investigation has now uncovered the image of a man we want to trace and I would urge anyone who knows him to get in touch.”
