A man assaulted the conductor on the platform at Hinckley railway station last month. British Transport Police said they believed the attacker was travelling with two women and a man on the 8.52pm CrossCountry Trains service between Birmingham and Leicester when the attack happened at 9.30pm on Saturday, April 13. Pc Mike Leconte said: "A woman approached the train conductor on the platform to remonstrate about the doors not opening at an earlier station where she wanted to leave the train. "During their conversation, a man approached the conductor and shoved him into the train before dragging him back onto the platform, shouting threats at him. "A number of people then intervened and pulled the attacker away from the train guard, who managed to escape very shaken but uninjured. "We have managed to obtain an enhanced image of the man we believe has key information into this offence. "The image quality is excellent and someone must recognise him. "This member of staff was simply trying to do his job and didn't deserve to be the victim of this appalling physical and verbal abuse. "Please contact us if you know who he is." CrossCountry Trains managing director Andy Cooper said: "This was a shocking, unprovoked assault on a member of our staff and we appeal for anyone with information that could assist the police to contact them immediately." Contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or by text on 61016, quoting reference B4/NEA of 23/04/13. Information can also be passed to Crimestoppers, which is anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
