British Transport Police (BTP) is appealing for information relating to an incident which took place at Bingley Railway Station at around 20.00hrs on Saturday 20 September 2009.

A 20-year-old male had been out celebrating with friends when he was allegedly approached on Platform 1 by three youths who became aggressive and verbally abused him and his friends.

PC Carl Johnstone of BTP said:

"The youths became very aggressive; the victim was subjected to a torrent of threatening abuse by the group.

"One of the suspects threw a bottle at him which smashed nearby.

"The youths then followed the victim as he got onto the train and then banged on the door threatening to kill him.

"One of the suspects then threw a rock which smashed the train window".

PC Johnstone added:

"The youths then ran across the tracks to Platform 2 and fled the station.

"We are working to build a complete picture of what took place at the station.
