Police believe the two women pictured may be able to help with their investigation

Police investigating attacks on two disabled train passengers have released images of two women they want to speak to.

Two women were attacked while on the 18:20 service from Ramsgate to London St Pancras on 9 September.

The victims had to be taken to hospital due to the injuries they suffered.

The two women police want to speak to boarded the train at Margate and left at Gravesend.

According to British Transport Police, the first victim, who was sitting in a passenger seat, was approached by a woman and was asked to give up her seat.

When she explained that she was unable to, she was assaulted.

Soon after another woman approached the second victim, who was sitting on her mobility scooter, and assaulted her.

Both women left the service at about 19:45 when the service arrived at Gravesend railway station, the victims continued to St Pancras where they were met by an ambulance.

Officers believe the two women in the images released may have information which could help their investigation.
