POLICE investigating an attack on a woman at the steam

railway platform in Paignton have issued these CCTV images of

three men they would like to trace.

The two men in the white shirts — seen here at a business in

the resort's Torbay Road minutes before the assault in the

early hours of June 26 — are innocent customers who may be

witnesses.

The man in the dark top is believed to have been the victim

of an earlier attack.

He is seen tending to a facial injury it is thought he

suffered in an incident near the shop at about 12.25am.

Det Con Wendy Fuller, of Paignton CIT, said: “We are anxious

to trace all three so they can help us with information about

our inquiries into the incident later at the railway platform

which happened between 12.35am and 12.55am.

Police say the later incident involved an attack by a man

who repeatedly banged a woman's head against the concrete

ground.

DC Fuller said: “We would like it if these men came forward,

or at least to hear from anyone who might know who they

are.”

The suspected assault victim had dark hair and was wearing a

dark tracksuit top with a white stripe down one arm.

He also wore white shoes and dark-coloured jeans which were

faded in places.

The men in white tops had shaven heads and each wore white

shoes.

CIT on 08452 777444, quoting crime FP/08/2159. They can also
