Police hunt for woman following train assault

POLICE have issued a CCTV image of a woman after a train passenger became aggressive and allegedly attacked a group of fellow passengers.

British Transport Police are appealing for information after the attack on a train that was travelling between Swansea and Neath at around 10.20pm on Saturday, November 17.

A group of three women were on board the service which was departing Swansea station.

Officers said that during the journey, another woman on board the train became extremely aggressive and verbally abusive towards the three women and other passengers.

The unknown woman then suddenly became violent, slapping one of the friends before pulling the hair of another.

Other passengers intervened, stopping any further assault.
