CCTV images have been released after a knife was swung at the victim of an attempted robbery outside a railway station.

Police have identified two men they want to speak to following the terrifying incident in Broadstairs.

Two victims were approached by two men just outside the station.

The two men showed the victims handles in their waistbands, which the victims believed to be knives.

One of the victims was patted down by the men, however none of his possessions were taken.

The other victim managed to run away and one of the men swung a knife at him - but thankfully missed.

The incident occurred just before midnight on September 10.

The British Transport Police believe the men in the images may have information which could help their investigation.
