Staff at West Worthing station tried to speak to the man when he got off the train, just after 8pm, but he pushed both members of staff, before leaving the station.

Investigating officer PC Russell Stobbs said: “I am keen to identify the man in the CCTV image as assaults against rail staff will not be tolerated. The two victims were going about their daily duties and should not have to suffer this behaviour.”
