CCTV's been issued of a man police want to speak to after a member of staff was attacked on a train heading from Hull to Doncaster.

The incident took place early in the morning on 6th August when a man boarded a train at Hull Paragon Interchange station, bound for Doncaster, without a ticket.

When the train staff member asked him to leave the train at Hessle Railway Station, the situation took a violent turn.

The man pushed and punched the staff member, leaving him with a concussion, severe bruising, and an ear injury that required stitches.

British Transport Police (BTP) are on the case and have put out a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to, as he might have information that can help with their investigation.
