Detectives are appealing for witnesses and video footage after a man was assaulted at Warrington Bank Quay Station.
At around 10.39pm on Friday 12 January, officers responded to reports that a taxi driver had been assaulted on Parker Street, outside Bank Quay train station in Warrington.
On arrival, officers found that the taxi driver, 33-year-old man, had been punched and racially abused by a passenger.
A 36-year-old man from the Newton Le Willows area, has been arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of assault and has since been released on conditional bail.
