When she went to get off the train, the man pushed her. She fell backwards out of the train onto the platform.

A spokesman for the force said: "Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference number 622 of 30 July."
