Sketches released of man hit by train

In London, a man was hit by the train (the "tube," they call it). He survived but had no identification on him except a receipt. An e-Fit was created of the man. An e-Fit is a computer rendering of the man's image - eFit is short for Electronic Facial Identification software.

They also did a police sketch. It's unusual to produce sketches of a person who is alive, but police say they really need to get in touch with this man's next-of-kin or relatives. I found it interesting that they didn't just take a photo of the man. That must mean he had a lot of head trauma. Poor guy. Hope the images help family find him.
