PC Dan Worthington, investigating for BTP, said: “The“As they stood there, a minibus stopped nearby and a group of people wearing what appeared to be Halloween costumes, got out and went towards the station.

“One of the group approached the victim and punched him in the face several times, causing a cut to the victim’s face.

“Fortunately the victim wasn’t too seriously injured as a result of the incident but this was a nasty assault nonetheless.”

He said the man caught on CCTV is believed to have information that could help the investigation.
