Violent incident at Luxembourg train station

A violent and senseless incident occurred at Luxembourg's central station on Tuesday.

At about 6:15pm a man demanded a cigarette from another man waiting on the platform. When his request was denied the first man became extremely angry and punched his victim in the face.

This caused him to fall backwards, off the platform and onto the train tracks.

The attacker then fled in the direction of Place de la Gare.

The police are now looking for the suspect who is described at about 1m70 tall, black and wearing a dark tracksuit and a baseball cap. The heavyset man spoke French.

If anyone has any information regarding the perpetrator's identity is asked to call their local police station as soon as possible.
