British Transport Police want to question these ten men

British Transport Police have re-issued an appeal to help find a gang of abusive Cardiff City football fans.

Last week police released CCTV images of the ten fans accused of verbally abusing a woman on a train – prompting her to stand on the track in front of the train.

Lisa Robinson, 41, was travelling with her five-year-old son and husband from Cardiff when she became the victim of the Cardiff City fan’s taunts.

When the train stopped at her home station of Ystrad Mynach, Mrs Robinson stepped off the platform and stood in front of the train demanding that police be called after her complaint had been ignored by the driver.

The Bluebirds fans were travelling home after a home win over Millwall on September 25.

Detective Inspector Mark Cleland, one of the investigating officers, said: “We are keen to speak to any independent witnesses who we hope can help us to establish exactly what took place.

“I’d particularly like to hear from a woman who was aged between 35 and 45 and was sitting near to the woman who confronted the fans.

“We believe she will have information which can assist our investigation.

“She is of average height and build and had shoulder-length, dark-coloured hair which was cut in a bob style.”

Anyone with information should call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, quoting incident number B10 of 07/10/2010, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
