Officers had circulated images of a woman who had allegedly targeted the family who had boarded at Tottenham Court Road.

The 31-year-old man, from Barnet in the capital, was with his wife, who was carrying their young child.

A passenger offered his seat to the victim's wife, which resulted in another female passenger complaining.

British Transport Police said at the time: "The woman, who was travelling with three other people, made racially abusive comments towards the family.

"Two men, who were travelling with the woman, then grabbed the victim by his shoulders and pushed him.

"The group, who all spoke with a Midlands accent, left the train at Euston and we believe they then travelled on a train to the West Midlands."

Today British Transport Police said a woman from Oldbury had handed herself in to a station in the West Midlands.

She was not arrested, but officers from British Transport Police are now preparing to interview her.
