British Transport Police (BTP) detectives are continuing to appeal for information after an unprovoked attack at Alexandra Palace rail station left a man with a fractured eye socket.

Investigators have now released CCTV images of three men they would like to identify and talk to in connection with the incident which took place on Friday, 23 December 2011, following the World Darts Championship held at Alexandra Palace.

Detective Constable Stephen McBride, of BTP's Criminal Investigation Department, said around 11.30pm the 20-year-old victim from Welwyn, was on platform three of the station with a friend waiting for a train back to Welwyn Garden City.

PC McBride added:

"They were approached by a group of men with whom they spoke for around five minutes without any issues.

"Suddenly, and completely unprovoked, two of the men set upon the victim's friend before turning on the victim, who was punched a number of times to the face, causing him to fall to the floor.

"Whilst on the floor, one of the men began kicking the victim the face.

"When he attempted to get up, the group ripped his shirt and punched him again, causing him to fall back down.

"The group then made off from the station."

The victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, where he was treated for a fractured eye socket, two black eyes and a swollen nose.

DC McBride continued:

"This was a brutal attack on a man who was simply trying to make his way home from an evening at the darts.

"The brutality of the assault left the victim suffering with facial injuries over the Christmas and New Year period.

"I am now appealing for anyone who recognises the men in the images to come forward."

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
