BART police on Monday released a photo of a man they said is wanted in connection to the assault of another man at the Daly City station last weekend.

The victim was on the BART station platform Saturday night when someone hit him with an object that left a cut on his neck. The injury was not life-threatening and the victim was treated and released.

The Daly City station was closed from about 8 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. while officers investigated the incident.

The image of the suspect released on Monday was taken from a camera on a BART train. The suspect appears to be wearing a purple shirt or jacket and cutoff shorts.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call BART police at (510) 464-7040 or an anonymous tip line at 510-464-7011.
