A pensioner was assaulted by a group of teenagers as he left a train at St Pancras International Station.

One of the group, aged around 16, punched him in the face and he was again punched and kicked as he left the First Capital Connect train at platform A.
The elderly man was taken to University College Hospital, bleeding from his face.
