A 56-year-old man suffered a broken arm, shoulder and wrist in an attack at Hull's Paragon Station – because he challenged a man who jumped the queue for a taxi.
The victim was left in "extreme pain" and will now need an operation to insert metal plates into his body.
British Transport Police have today revealed details of the attack, which happened at about 11.45pm on Saturday, September 13.
Detective Constable Lee Parsons said: "The victim, a 56-year-old local man, became involved in a disagreement outside the station with a man who attempted to jump the queue for taxis.
