British Transport Police has launched an investigation into an assault which took place at Accrington Station last month.

The assault occurred moments after a train arrived at platform one as a passenger was walking to cross the overbridge.

While on the overbridge, the victim was approached by a man who headbutted him and punched him to the head a number of times.

The victim was left with two black eyes as well as bruising and swelling around his face.
