Detectives investigating a robbery in which a train passenger was put in a chokehold have released images of a man they want to talk to.

The victim was seated on a train travelling between Barking and Basildon when he was approached by a man who demanded some of his belongings at 12.30pm on Christmas Eve last year.

British Transport Police said a fight erupted and the man snatched the victim's coat and watch, after putting him into a chokehold.

He then left the train at Basildon station.
