Officers have released a series of CCTV stills showing images of men they believe will have information which can assist the investigation.

PC Kirk Smith, who is investigating the incident, said: “The incident occurred at Wellington Railway Station on platform 1 were disorder broke out between two groups of males.

“Police intervened quickly to stop the situation escalating.

“One group, believed to consist mostly of Hereford United fans, remained on the platform afterwards, while a group of Telford fans left the location and stood outside a nearby public house before leaving the location.

“Extensive enquiries have been ongoing since the incident, which took place on Saturday, April 20 2013, but we have so far been unable to identify the men we want to speak to.

“If you know the identity of any of these men, please contact BTP straight away as your information may assist this investigation.”
