Police are appealing for information after a member of staff was racially abused at a London Underground station.

On October 13, just before 6pm, a man approached a member of rail staff and asked for assistance with his Oyster card at Morden Station.

Noticing he was not wearing a face covering, the staff member asked him to put one on before she could assist him.

The man refused to put on a face covering and started shouting at the member of staff before entering a station shop. The man then emerged from the shop and again spoke to the staff member, during which he racially abused her.

Your Local Guardian:

He left the station after the interaction but is reported to have returned the following day to take a photo of the member of rail staff before leaving the station.

Officers believe the man in the CCTV image may have information which could assist their investigation.
