POLICE are hunting a suspected sex attacker who pinned a woman down and attempted to rape her at a busy station.
The victim was followed by a man who then pushed her to the ground in a stairway.
She screamed for help – causing the suspect to flee when a tram arrived at Winson Green Metro station in Birmingham.
The victim then left the station and approached a woman nearby for help following the broad daylight horror.
British Transport Police confirmed the woman required hospital treatment for a knee injury.
They have released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to after the attack on October 10 at around 2pm.
