Police hunt two women for racially motivated assault on the Tube

Two women are being hunted after a woman who was speaking Spanish on the Night Tube was viciously attacked.

The 24-year-old victim was talking to some friends on the Central Line between Liverpool Street and Stratford when she was set upon at around 3.45am on Saturday.

Her attackers shouted at her saying she should be talking English when in England, and then grabbed her by the hair and pulled her around.

The victim suffered injuries to her scalp and cuts to her face during the racially motivated assault, British Transport Police (BTP) said.

The women who attacked her were both black, had braided hair and are believed to be in their late 20s.

Officers are appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with information to call 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016 with reference 91 of April 7.
