A woman who allegedly threatened a mother in front of her young child and implied she was carrying a knife on the Tube is being hunted by police.
A female commuter launched a furious verbal assault on a family after a small child accidentally kicked her on the Central Line.
On July 18, the mother boarded a westbound service at Bank station with her baby in a pram.
As they boarded the packed train, her young child accidentally kicked another woman, who was also boarding.
This woman immediately became abusive to the mother, demanding the mother apologise in an aggressive and threatening manner.

Other passengers intervened to calm the situation, however the woman then intimated that she had a knife in her bag.
As the the train pulled in to the next stop at St Paul’s, a member of TfL staff noticed the row and moved the mother and baby on to another carriage.
The suspect stayed on the train and continued to abuse witnesses on the carriage who tried to intervene and saw her shout and threaten the mother.
The incident happened after the mother and baby boarded a westbound Central line Underground train at Bank station on July 18 at around 6pm.
CCTV images of a woman police believe launched the verbal attack have been released today by British Transport Police.
One image shows the woman standing as she is surrounded by other commuters and another shows her sitting down after the altercation.
Police say the ordeal was ‘frightening’ and that the young family were ‘shaken by this woman’s aggressive language’.
