On June 12 an off duty officer confronted a mob of individuals after seeing them attempt to barge through barriers at a tube station without paying.
A harrowing assault followed with the mob punching and kicking the female copper.
Detectives have since launched an investigation into the violent assault at Wood Green Underground Station.
CCTV footage of four men and two women has been released with cops looking to trace them.
Detectives believe the people pictured could have information that can help their investigation.
In April Transport for London announced new measures to clamp down on fare dodgers.
The British Transport Police said: “At around 4.20pm on Thursday 12 June the victim, an off duty police officer, challenged a group of people who attempted to barge through the barrier without tickets.
“She was then set upon by the group who punched and kicked her and threw a drink over her head.
“Officers would like to speak to the people pictured as they believe they could have information which could help their investigation.”
