COPS have launched an appeal after a woman was allegedly kicked onto a busy railway line.
Officers say the incident happened at Shotts railway station at around 10.50pm on Friday, January 26 as a train from Glasgow Central arrived.
During the disturbance, the victim had attempted to assist a woman on the train who was upset.
The woman and a man she was travelling with then assaulted her and kicked her onto the railway tracks.
Now, the British Transport Police are urging anyone who saw the incident to get in touch.
A spokesperson for the force said: "Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016, or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference number 2400011228.
"Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
