Police are hunting a gang of three or four young people who reportedly attacked a priest on the platform of a London Underground station.
The man, who witnesses said appeared to be a member of the clergy, was punched at South Ealing station on Thursday morning, police said.
The victim has not spoken to British Transport Police and the attack was reported by witnesses.
"We’ve had a number of reports of a nasty assault taking place this morning and so have launched an investigation to find out what happened," investigating officer PC Kevin Buck said.
"We’re appealing for anyone who may have seen the incident taking place, or to the victim himself.
"Please come forward, as this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and it is important we locate the offenders."
Police said the victim may have been at the station with other members of the clergy.
