British Transport Police (BTP) said the assault happened on May 26.

A spokesman said: “At approximately 11.55pm, the victim was sat on a bench at the station when he was approached by another man. The man then pulled the victim to the ground and punched him multiple times.

“The victim was left with bruising, cuts, a temporary loss of hearing and whiplash after what is believed to be an unprovoked attack.

“Officers would like to speak to the man in the CCTV images because they believe he may be able to help with the investigation.
