Police want to identify two people after woman racially abused and assaulted at Bond Street station

Police have released a photo after a woman was racially abused and assaulted while with her family in central London last month.

The victim was entering Bond Street Tube station with her sister and two young children, one of whom was in a pushchair.

British Transport Police (BTP) said the man and woman pictured in the image were walking in front of the family when the woman "collided with the pushchair".

The man then allegedly shouted racial abuse at the victim and her family and the woman grabbed her hair.

When she tried to defend herself, BTP said the man pulled out a small bottle he claimed was pepper spray and sprayed it in the direction of the victim and her family.

"The woman shouted abuse and made lewd gestures at them before both parties left the area," the force added.

Police said the incident happened around 7.30pm on Saturday 11 October.

Anyone who recognises the people in the photo is asked to text BTP on 61016 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
