A few minutes into the journey a man sitting on his own across the aisle from the victim started up a conversation with the victim in an aggressive manner.

The man is described as: tan skinned, large build, between 40 to 50 years of age, bald head with a black beard, moustache and sleeve tattoo on his right arm. He was wearing a blue and white sports jumper with sunglasses on top of his head.
