BARNSLEY train station was evacuated on Friday evening after a flask full of acid was found dumped in a bin.
It’s reported that round 5.30pm last Friday, a woman got off the train at the station and dumped the flask into a bin on the platform.
Two men at Barnsley train station then picked up the flask and opened it.
The liquid was confirmed to be hydrochloric acid and emitted a strong noxious smell, leading the station to be evacuated for a number of hours whilst emergency services dealt with the situation.
A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said: “Officers believe the woman in the CCTV image may have information which could assist their enquiries.
