He was approached by two men who punched him and hit him around the head as he tended to the medical emergency.
The officer was taken to hospital with fractures to his face and serious injuries to his shoulder and upper body.
The British Transport Police have now released CCTV images of two individuals - one wearing a red England shirt and the other in a bright orange jacket - who they want to speak to.

"As a result, he has suffered severe injuries. No officer should be subject to this while doing their job to keep passengers safe across the network.
"Violent and abusive behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated on the railway, whether directed towards the public, rail staff or our officers."
Cops urged any witnesses who may have information to come forward.
