Officials believe the men in the pictures may have information that could aid their investigation and asked witnesses to come forward.
Det Insp Gary Pinner said, “This violent attack took place while one of our officers was helping a citizen in need. As a result, he sustained serious injuries. No officer should be exposed to this while doing his or her job to ensure the safety of passengers across the network.
“Violent and abusive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated on the railway, be it towards the public, the railway staff or our officials.”
The police have asked anyone who recognizes the men or has information about the incident to report by SMS on 61016 or by phone on 0800 40 50 40, quoting the reference number 631 from 07.11.21.
