Police are appealing for public assistance as investigations continue into two incidents on Sydney’s rail network.

About 10pm on Monday 26 May 2025, a 23-year-old man was standing on a platform at Westmead Railway Station when he was allegedly assaulted and threatened by an unknown man.

About 4.30pm on Sunday 1 June 2025, a 22-year-old woman was at Blacktown Railway Station, when three men approached her before one of men allegedly stole her mobile phone and left the scene.
