A Tube passenger was left with a broken ankle following a brawl with another man at a station in central London, police said.
Violence broke out in the Central line ticket hall at Liverpool Street station after the two men became involved in an argument as they walked up an escalator from the eastbound platform.
The row escalated as they walked through the ticket barriers and both men began to grapple with one another and fell to the floor.
Police said one of the men walked away but the other was left needing surgery for a broken ankle.
British Transport Police officers have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident at 5.45pm on Friday, October 14.
Investigating DC Paul Cudby said: “This incident just goes to show how quickly a verbal altercation can get out of hand.
“This man was left with a broken ankle and in severe pain after the incident. I would like to speak to the man in the CCTV images I believe he was in the area at the time and may have witnessed the incident.”
