THE police have released two CCTV images after an assault in Barnsley Interchange.

The assault, which took place on Saturday, October 12, is thought to have been an unprovoked one.

A 47-year-old man and his partner had travelled by train from Leeds to Barnsley, arriving at 10.25pm, when they walked over the footbridge.

The man was then rugby tackled to the ground in what's thought to have been an unprovoked attack by a stranger.

The victim got to his feet and travelled down the escalators towards the exit doors onto Market Street, when he was punched in the face by an unknown man.

He suffered minor injuries and attended hospital.

The men in the CCTV images, or anyone who knows who they are, should call South Yorkshire Police quoting incident number 1059 of October 14, 2013.
