An appeal has been launched after two men in their 60s were punched in the face at a rail station for not having a cigarette.

One of the men, a 69-year-old, was walking up along a footbridge Harringay Station, in Quernmore Road, when he was approached by another man who asked him for a cigarette at 1:25pm on Tuesday August 28.

When the victim refused as he didn’t not have any cigarettes, the man punched him in the face and knocked him to the floor.

The man then walked along the bridge and then punched a 60-year-old man in the side of the head.

British Transport Police have released CCTV images of a man they would like to talk to in connection with the attack and are calling on anyone with information to get in contact.
