Police have released an image of a person they want to speak with after a man was seen hitting a child on-board a train.
Officers are investigating the incident which took place on-board a service travelling from Manchester Airport to Blackpool North.
Just after 7.30pm on Wednesday July 21, a man seated within the train’s carriage was seen to hit a child three to four times on the head.
When challenged by the train conductor, he said: “I can do what I want, he’s my son.”
Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.
If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact the British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 577 of July 21.
Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
