Taxi driver 'punched in head and robbed' by customers at Beckenham Station
The British Transport Police (BTP) are appealing for help in identifying two men who attacked and robbed a taxi driver in Beckenham.
The violent attack, in which the driver was repeatedly punched in the head, took place at Beckenham Station last Friday (May 21).
Officers have today released an image of one man in connection with the assault, who they are asking the public to help identify.
At around 4.20pm last Friday (May 21), the taxi driver picked up the two men from Bromley High Street.
The BTP said the men became "verbally aggressive and threatening" towards the victim during their journey in his taxi.
Their behaviour caused the taxi driver to stop at Beckenham Station and get out of his car, at which point one of the men followed the driver and punched him several times in the head.
Meanwhile, the other man robbed the driver’s car, taking his ID card and other belongings, before joining his companion in the attack.
The driver had to go to hospital, suffering a cut to the nose and bruising on the side of the face from the attack.
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 BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 351 of 21/05/21.
Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
