A balaclava-clad man is reported to have pulled out a knife on a train passenger before demanding he hand over his bag.

The young man boarded the train at the Bat and Ball railway station in Sevenoaks and approached the victim who was sitting alone.

During the incident, which took place on August 26 at around 1pm, the man allegedly put on a balaclava and blocked him in.

The man left the train three stops later at Eynsford with two other young men.
