A man wearing a penguin costume was attacked on a train by a group of men after being asked if he supported Tottenham Hotspur.

The 19-year-old was on a service between London Liverpool Street and Chelmsford when the attack happened.

The victim's father and a member of the public were also assaulted when they tried to intervene.

British Transport Police have released images of three men they want to speak to in connection with the assault.
