A man has been pushed off a train at Raynes Park station shortly after being confronted by another man who saw him sanitising his hands.

The altercation took place shortly before 11am on Saturday 4 July when the victim was berated from across the carriage on a train travelling between Stoneleigh and Raynes Park stations at the time

The victim then stood up to alert staff at Raynes Park station when the man grabbed his phone and started waving it in the air. He managed to get his phone back and positioned himself at the train doors to get the attention of station staff on the platform.

The man then pushed the victim from behind, causing him to land on the platform. He suffered cuts to his arms and lost his glasses.
