Abdul Eneser, 23, injured his knees, hands and neck and suffers from ongoing anxiety after the incident at Manchester Piccadilly in May 2022, law firm Leigh Day said.

The masters law student at the University of Strathclyde had booked Passenger Assist in advance but arrived by train at the station on a later service than planned after missing a connection at Preston because of delays.
