Woman 'punched in face by man on Borders Railway'
British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was punched in the face by a man on the Borders Railway.
Passengers had to intervene to stop the attack, which happened on a train travelling between Edinburgh and Tweedbank last month.
The ugly scenes unfolded between 8.30pm and 9.40pm on Saturday, September the 9th.
Both the victim and her attacker boarded the service at Edinburgh Waverley.
But, while the woman left the train at Galashiels, the man stayed on until the final stop in Tweedbank.
A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: "If you witnessed the incident or if it happened to you, please do contact us and our officers will be able to help.
"Please contact British Transport Police by calling 0800 40 50 40, or by texting 61016 with the reference 2300108475.
"Information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
