BRITISH Transport Police have released an image of a girl they believe could help with a hate crime investigation at Ealing Broadway station.

Officers are asking the public if they recognise the person in the image, who may have information in connection with the incident.

The crime occurred on-board a train just before 5:30pm on Thursday 6 June.

The victim was seated on-board a service when a girl boarded the train.

The girl was playing with her friend, pushing one another other closer and closer to the victim who responded by saying, "do you mind".
