Police have launched a manhunt after a person was pushed off a train at Raynes Park railway station.

Officers were called to reports of an assault shortly before 11am on July 4.

The victim reported that a man started talking to him from the other side of the train carriage, saying it was ridiculous that he was sanitising his hands.

The service was travelling between Stoneleigh and Raynes Park stations at the time.

BTP said the victim then stood up to alert staff at Raynes Park station when the man grabbed his phone and started waving it in the air.

The victim managed to get his phone back and positioned himself at the train doors to get the attention of station staff on the platform.

It was reported that the man then pushed the victim from behind, causing him to land on the platform.

Police confirmed that the victim suffered cuts to his arms and lost his glasses.

Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.
