CCTV images released after racial assault on train between Aberdeen and Perth

Police have released photos of two men they want to question after a racial assault on a train travelling between Aberdeen and Perth.

A 20-year-old woman was targeted on the 20.42 Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street service on July 15.

British Transport Police have released the CCTV images as they make a fresh appeal for witnesses.

The first man is described as about 5’10”, in his mid-20s, of slim build and tattoos on his hands. He was wearing a black tracksuit with white stripes on the sleeves and dark trainers.

The second man is described as also being about 5’10”, in his mid-late 20s, of stocky build and with dark hair. He was wearing work-style trousers and a black hooded top with orange branding.

Detective Constable David McAllister said: “The disgusting behaviour was completely unwarranted and appalled people. The train also stopped at Stonehaven, Montrose, Arbroath, Dundee and I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the incidents to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or by texting 61016.”

Information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
