AN appeal has been launched by British Transport Police to find a man who got off a train at Ely and is wanted for questioning about an assault.
The victim was punched in the face at Cambridge station on Tuesday June 25.
Investigators have released images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.
PC Paul Harvey said: “The victim, a man from Kings Lynn, was waiting for a train around 7.40pm.
“After stepping to one side to let passengers off the train he began to board but a man pushed into him.
