British Transport Police (BTP) officers investigating the damage of a ceramic poppy at York railway station have released some CCTV images of a male they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.
The incident happened at 21:28 hours on Saturday 23rd March.
Police have said that a male is reported to have approached the British Legion Poppy Wreath and snapped it in half.
He was reported to have been ‘very irate’ and in a group of seven to nine other men. The group exited the station in taxis at around 22:10 hours.
Officers believe that the man in the image may have information that could assist them with their investigation.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who knows the identity of the man, is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 and quoting reference 706 of 25/03/19.
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Before you go...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
