Officers have released CCTV images following an assault on a man who intervened in a pickpocketing incident at Oxford Circus Underground station.
At 11.40pm on Thursday, May 22, a 37-year-old man was near platform four when he spotted two men attempting to steal from a woman.

The attackers fled the scene when other passengers rushed to help.
