The 30-year-old victim was walking along Alexandra Park Road at 10pm on Tuesday, March 11, when he was approached by three men near the station. One of them asked him for a cigarette and money, and when he declined and walked on, the man grabbed him by the arm, swung him around and headbutted him in the face. The other two men stood nearby.

The victim was treated in hospital for a fractured cheek bone.

The attacker, believed to be aged around 30, is described as European-looking with a tanned complexion, over six feet tall and of large build. He had medium length black hair and a stubbly beard. At the time of the incident he was wearing a dark blue or black jacket which was open, with a dark top underneath and blue jeans and trainers.
