A group of teenagers assaulted multiple passengers during a violent attack.

Images released three weeks after the incident. I don't suppose that the alleged perpetrators cared that they were being video'd. and perhaps they aren't worried about the likely slaps on their wrists should they be located and charged.

They weren't worried at the time but are probably going to have the opportunity to reflect on that stance. Good clear photos, thanks due to whoever recorded them. Hopefully the BTP (British Transport Police) can handle photos far more fluidly than they did in *checks notes* 2011, but the  witnessed assault I'm recalling resulted in a conviction too as far as I know.
