CCTV has been released of a woman that officers would like to speak with after a man was stabbed in the chest with a broken glass bottle on a train.
The incident came after a fight broke out on a train between Brighton and Haywards Heath, West Sussex, at around midnight on July 1.
During the altercation a person was seen threatening a man with a glass bottle, before smashing it and stabbing the man in the chest with it.
British Transport Police (BTP) say their officers – and paramedics – rushed to the scene at Haywards Heath to respond to the ‘serious assault’.
Two people were taken to hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
A man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm but was later released without charge, while another man was arrested on suspicion of affray.
Officers believe the woman in the CCTV image may have information which could help their investigation.
