Police appeal after attempted robbery of teenager on train in West Midlands
A police appeal has been launched after an attempted robbery of a teenager by two men on a train between Birmingham New Street and Nuneaton.
The men, who were verbally abusive, threatened the teenager with violence if he didn't hand over his designer jacket at 8.20pm on May 22.
The threats and abuse continued until the victim moved carriages at Nuneaton station which is where the two men left the train, police say.

He has a curly italicised tattoo on the left side of his neck, he was wearing an all-black tracksuit, the top was a sweatshirt, and he had astocky build.
The second man is described a white male of skinny build, aged 19-20 years old who was wearing a black “Weekend Offenders” branded jacket.
