British Transport Police are investigating a serious assault on a Brighton railway station staff member following an incident with two disruptive men on the night of Friday, 27 February.
The victim, who had asked the men to leave the station after they caused disorderly behaviour on a train from Shoreham-by-Sea, was punched during the attack and suffered skull fractures that required hospital treatment.
The incident occurred just after midnight when a member of Brighton station staff confronted the two men who had caused disruption while travelling by train. What began as an attempt to remove the men escalated quickly, resulting in a violent assault that left the victim unconscious.
Following the punch to the head, the staff member was rushed to hospital where doctors confirmed fractures to the skull. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of railway workers and has prompted urgent police action.
British Transport Police have released CCTV images of the suspects and are appealing for anyone who recognises the men to come forward. Potential witnesses are urged to contact the force by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 7 of 27 February. Information can also be shared anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Investigators remain active on the case and stress the importance of public assistance in identifying the two men believed to have vital information about the assault.
