A commuter was kicked and punched in a terrifying attack after a woman allegedly tried to snatch his phone at a southeast London train station.

Shortly before 5.30pm on Thursday, July 30, a man at Woolwich Dockyard railway station was approached by a woman who attempted to steal his phone.

The man then boarded a train and was followed by the same woman and two further people, British Transport Police say.

Police have now released CCTV images of three people they would like to speak to.

Detectives believe they may have information which could help the investigation.

Anyone who recognises them is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 633 of 30 July.

Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
