Asian Man Allegedly Assaulted by Racists TWICE at Glasgow Train Station

August 30, 2017

An unidentified Asian man was assaulted twice on two separate, consecutive occasions by racist thugs at a train station in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to the police report, the victim, whose name has been withheld, was thrown onto the tracks of Anniesland station in Glasgow at 6:15 p.m. on Sunday. Shortly after recovering from the first encounter, and trying to get back on the train platform, another suspect attacked the man and racially abused him.

The British Transport Police are now looking into the case to catch the suspects.

“Remarkably the victim is relatively uninjured as a result of being pushed on the tracks and the following assault on the platform, however this could have easily been a lot more serious,” Detective Sergeant Dougie Gallacher said in a statement.

“We believe the man was assaulted on two separate occasions, the first being when he was pushed onto the tracks and the second when he was back on the platform,” he added.

The authorities believe the Asian man was attacked by three assailants: two men and a woman.

One of the men is described on the police report as white with a medium built body and shaved hair. He was seen wearing an orange long-sleeved top, dark-colored knee-length shorts, black body warmer and white trainers at the time of the incident.

The second white man is described as having medium build with shaved hair. He was wearing a black jumper, jeans and a pair of brown shoes.

Lastly, the woman is described as white, medium build with brown hair tied in a ponytail. She was seen wearing a light-colored jacket with a pink top, light-colored jeans, trainers and black bag.

“The train that was at the station at the time was the 4.40pm service from Edinburgh to Helensburgh and we’re appealing to passengers on the train and station who may have witnessed what happened to get in touch with us,” the Detective Sergeant Gallacher continued.

For those who may have information about the suspects, kindly inform the British Transport Police through text message at 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40, quoting 436 and August 27, 2017.
