Investigating officer, PC Diane Cooper, said: ^A male passenger with a pushbike boarded the 14.30hrs London Paddington ^ Weston-super-Mare service when it arrived at Bristol Temple Meads at about 4.10pm on Thursday, 19 September 2013. He tried to engage a woman in conversation before becoming aggressive and abusive towards her when she she indicated she was tired and did not wish to speak to him. The man continued to shout abuse at the woman, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and fear for her safety. The man left the train when it arrived at Weston-super-Mare.

^Enquiries have been ongoing to trace the man but to no avail. I am now in a position to release a CCTV image of a man I would like to identify and speak to as I believe he will have information which can assist the investigation.^

Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police on Freefone 0800 40 50 40, or text 6106. Alternatively, you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In all calls, please quote incident reference B6/WWA of 05/11/13
