Officers are appealing for anyone with information to contact them following the incident on Monday, April 23, between 6.35pm and 7.10pm,
DC Elaine Sexton, from the British Transport Police, investigating officer, said: “The men’s language was abusive and threatening and left the victims feeling extremely shaken. As such, we’d like anyone with information to come forward straightaway.
“London is a multi-cultural city made up of people from various ethnic backgrounds.
“Visitors from all over the world will be coming to the city over the next few months, and they deserve to travel without fear of being exposed to such ignorant behaviour.”
