Nothing particularly out of the ordinary here, at least by the standards of stuff like this. Although, for a change, it's a British Transport Police appeal rather than regional police, but it's been faithfully rehashed in the Lancs press.
What's maybe a bit out of the ordinary, though, is that although the suspect doesn't seem to have had any prior contact with the driver, it seems he got into the cab and damaged the interior as well as assaulting the driver while outside the car, which seems unusual...
Certainly a reasonable enough image for ID purposes, though
Although it's not an image of the suspect - it's just someone BTP 'believe may have information that could help their investigation'
