British Transport Police are appealing for information on two people after two men were hit in the head with shoes and attacked. 

At around 11.50pm on Saturday July 27, two men boarded a train from Leigh heading towards Stanford-Le-Hope railway station where they left the service.

After arriving at the platform, at around 12.05am, the two men were approached by a man who attacked them.

Then, a woman who had also been on the train took off her heeled shoes and began hitting the two men in the head.

One of the men was left with injuries requiring medical treatment.

Officers believe the people in the CCTV images may have information that could help their investigation.
