Investigating officer PC Harry Thompson said: "The victim, a 21-year-old woman from Newcastle, had been out celebrating a friend’s birthday and boarded the 22:10 service from York back to Newcastle with some friends. After boarding the train, they noticed a group of women in fancy dress, including a Smurf, French maid, Robin Hood and a pirate, sitting in their reserved seats.
"When the victim asked the group to leave the seats, she was subjected to a violent assault. One of the group dragged the victim by the hair, before punching her in the face and grabbing her by the throat. The victim tried to move away but the woman continued to punch and strangle her until she eventually managed to free herself."
Investigators have reviewed CCTV footage and obtained an image of a woman they believe could help with their enquiries. PC Thompson continued: "This was understandably an incredibly distressing experience for the victim, and for those who saw what happened. I would urge anyone who recognises the woman pictured, or who has any information about this incident, to get in touch."

Which one is the woman in the picture with the cigarette? Somehow she doesn't look like a Smurf, a French maid, Robin Hood or a pirate. She does look like someone who would attack another person, though.
It doesn't say if she was wearing a costume or not.
I agree with you about her looking like someone who would attack another person.
I've just found this.

Apparently she was a fairy.
She must have been a bad fairy, like the one in Sleeping Beauty.
Heh heh!
