Police are searching for a man who was allegedly overheard talking about making a bomb threat while traveling on a Sydney train this morning.

A police spokeswoman said the man was overheard having an “inappropriate conversation” on his mobile phone by a passenger on the city-bound train at Strathfield about 9.30am this morning.

The spokeswoman said the passenger alerted police, but the man alighted the train at Redfern before he could be questioned by police.

“The area was canvassed but the man was not located,” the spokeswoman said.

Passengers were asked to leave the train at Central station, where it was thoroughly searched as a safety precaution.

Nothing suspicious was found.
