A rail worker was knocked unconscious and is left with a fractured skull after an unprovoked attack.
Police were called to Harrow on the Hill station early this morning (May 21) at 12.15am to reports of a worker at the station being punched at the gate line of the station.
British Transport Police says he suffered a bleed on the brain and a fractured skull after being knocked out.
He remains in hospital for further assessment to his injuries.
A CCTV image has been released of a man who could have helpful information into the investigation.

"We know a number of people witnessed the incident at the time and I would urge them to come forward to assist our investigation.”
Anyone who recognises the man is asked to text police on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 12 of 21/05/23.
