BTP officers were called to Woodside tram stop shortly before 6pm on April 25 after a group of youths armed with spades and glass bottles smashed up a busy tram. As the doors to the tram opened they rushed on board and started attacking three passengers with belts and metal poles. After being pushed off the tram they became frustrated and started throwing things at it. Four windows were smashed and the tram had to be taken out of action. Detective Inspector Ash Cooper said: "We continue to investigate this extremely serious and violent incident, and I would implore anyone who saw anything to contact the police. "We want to reassure the local community we are doing everything in our power to identify those responsible and bring them to justice, including eye witnesses and viewing CCTV from the surrounding area. "We are grateful to those members of the public who have already come forward with information, but we are still urging anyone else who saw what took place to contact us." Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP on 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference B12/LSA of 25/04/2013.
