The man was attacked by the youths at Colindale tube station

Four teenagers have been arrested after a man was attacked at a north-west London tube station in broad daylight.

The incident happened at around 5.50pm on Monday, May 25 at Colindale tube station in Barnet.


The victim was looking at a map on the Tube platform to plan his journey when a train arrived and a group of youths got off.

One of the group kicked the victim's heel as he passed them and, when he confronted them, the situation escalated with the group punching and kicking the victim.

The group then all left the station while members of the public administered first aid to the victim on platform.

He went to hospital and was found to have suffered a broken nose and broken ribs.

Officers were called and responded immediately, arresting four people, three girls and a boy, all aged 15 , on suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm.

All of those arrested currently remain on police bail.
