A man was reportedly spat at and punched in the face at a train station, causing him to lose teeth, which has prompted police to release a CCTV image.
British Transport Police (BTP) yesterday (January 29) said that at around 1.30pm on December 19 in 2023, a man was assaulted while leaving Barking underground station.
The man, who saw another man exit through the ticket gates behind someone without paying, was confronted by him and assaulted, BTP said.
