OFFICERS investigating an assault at Dawlish railway station have released images in connection with the incident.

At around 7.30pm on Monday, July 28, a 17-year-old girl was approached by a younger boy she knew after he'd been in an altercation with two older males.

The girl went over and approached them on a footbridge.

A verbal dispute began before one of the males attacked her, punching and kicking her before they left the station.

The girl suffered cuts and bruising to her face, neck and ribs.

Officers believe the male in the images could have information that may assist their enquiries.
