AN ELDERLY woman has died after she was fatally assaulted on the concourse of Birmingham New Street Station.
The woman, who British Transport Police said was in her 80s, sustained a fractured thigh bone and potential injuries to several ribs in the incident which happened last year.
The British Transport Police said officers were called to Birmingham New Street station just after 11am on November 19, 2024 following reports of a woman being assaulted on the concourse.
She later died on December 27, with her death believed to be linked to the incident.
A woman in her 20s was arrested on suspicion of GBH and has since been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and released on conditional bail pending further enquiries, the British Transport Police said.
British Transport Police are now appealing for information about the assault and is keen to speak to a man who witnessed the incident.
He is described as a tall white man in his early 30's, with a short goatee-style beard.
He was wearing a brown knitted beanie hat, black framed glasses, a black double-breasted wool peacoat, beige chino trousers, dark grey gloves, a light grey scarf, black shoes and a black rucksack.
Officers believe the man in the description has “valuable information” that could help the investigation.
DI Ian Wright from Birmingham CID said: "We urge the witness to this incident to come forward, we believe he has vital information that will assist this investigation.
