Transit Safety Division police are appealing for public assistance to identify a man following an assault in Melbourne's CBD last year.
It is understood a woman got off a train at Flinders Street Railway Station and walked across Flinders Street, where a man bumped into her at the intersection of Swanston Street about 2pm on 13 December 2024.
They both continued walking in opposite directions.
Police were told the offender then turned around and followed the victim east along Flinders Street, where he pushed her from behind on the footpath near Hosier Lane.
The 39-year-old woman fell to the ground and was taken to hospital with a serious injury.
The man fled on foot into Federation Square.
Investigators have released images of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
He is perceived to be Caucasian, of medium build, bald and aged in his 40's.
The man was last seen wearing blue cargo pants, a black T-shirt with a tram graphic on the front and white shoes.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, has footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
