A short time later an altercation occurred when the victim asked the man to turn the volume down and he slapped her across the face.
This was a very unsettling experience for the victim and we are working hard to catch the man responsible. There were a number of other passengers in the carriage at the time and I would urge them to come forward as they might have crucial evidence which could assist our investigation.”
The suspect is described as a black male, about 40 years old, stocky build and a shaved head, wearing a black suit, stripey red shirt and carrying a brown briefcase.
