Theatreland Assault Pair Punched Victim's Ticket


Police are hunting these two vicious suspects, who attacked a 43 year-old man in the early hours of the morning, in London’s busy Theatreland district.

The victim had just turned into The Strand from Villiers Street at 3:40am on July 22 when the duo pushed him to the ground and repeatedly kicked him in the head.

The victim was rushed to hospital with facial injuries and later discharged.

Officers from Westminster Community Safety Unit have released these CCTV images of two suspects they wish to quiz.

The pair are believed to have made off in the direction of Trafalgar Square after the attack.

They are described as a black woman, aged 25 to 30 years, of slim build, with shoulder length hair. She was wearing a red top and jeans.

She was with a black man, aged 25 to 30 years. He was wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt, white trousers and black trainers.

“There were a lot of people in the area at the time and I want to ask anyone who knows who these people are, or who has any information about the incident, to come forward.

“Any detail, however small, could help us to piece together what happened.”
