A CCTV appeal has been launched after an incident at Bath Spa railway station in which a man was threatened with a knife and sustained an injury above his eye.

British Transport Police have released the images as part of their ongoing investigation.

Between 11.10pm to 11.30pm on Friday 2nd May, a man began arguing with another man on the 11.06pm service between Bristol Temple Meads and Westbury.

As the train arrived at Bath Spa, the man approached the other man and threatened to stab him before rummaging through his bag.

A fight broke out between the two men, before the man being threatened fell and sustained an injury above his right eye.

He then fled the train and was pursued by the man who was now carrying a knife.

Officers would like to speak to the man in the CCTV images, as they believe he may have information that could help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises him, or has any other information, is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 852 of 2nd May 2025.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
