Police are searching for a man who punched a train conductor in the face during a dispute over music.

  • Scroll down for CCTV of the man wanted for questioning 

A conductor asked the man to turn his music down on a train between Geelong and Lara on Wednesday morning.

The passenger verbally abused the conductor, and when he got off to assist passengers at Lara, the passenger alighted and punched the conductor in the face.

He then fled on foot.

The conductor suffered facial injuries.

Senior constable Ben Schalk from the Transit Crime Investigation Unit says the conductor has “expressed his disappointment, obviously, at the fact he’s been assaulted while doing his job”.

Police have released CCTV of the man wanted for questioning in the hope someone will recognise him.
