A man charged with attacking a 70-year-old in front of his young grandchildren is due to appear in court.

Raymond West, 49, of Chigwell Road in Woodford Green, is charged with assaulting George Douglas, 70, on board an evening train from Southend Victoria to Shenfield on August 23.

Following the attack, Police released a CCTV image of a suspect wearing a West Ham United shirt as part of a public appeal.
