One of the victims had been attacked outside the building in Arbroath, before both made their way to platform two.

They were then encircled by a group of young people and the second victim was punched and kicked. Both suffered bruising.

A woman saw the incident and pulled the two girls away from the crowd and onto a waiting train.

It was the 12.59pm service to Edinburgh at platform one, on Friday June 21.

Officers are aiming to identify three suspects - all are girls and white.

The first is described as 15 years old with ginger hair in a messy bun.

She was wearing a puffy jacket that is reported to have been red in colour.

The second is described as having a large build, ginger hair in a half ponytail and wearing a black fleece and black leggings.

The third is described as having a slim build with long dark hair, 15 years old and wearing baggy blue jeans and a black jacket.
