Blood On The Dancefloor: Suspect Hunted For Club Glassing


Police are hunting this unassuming-looking suspect after a 21 year-old man had a glass smashed in his face on the dance floor of a popular West End club – suffering serious injuries to his eyelid and cheek.

The victim was enjoying a night out at the Polynesian-themed Mahiki (pic.bottom) in Dover Street on Friday October 22 when he was approached by the suspect, who smashed the cocktail glass in his face.

Police were called and the victim was rushed to hospital and later discharged, however he is still receiving treatment to remove glass from his injuries.



The suspect is described as a white man in his 20s, of slim build and wearing glasses.

Following the attack he fled the club and disappeared in Dover Street.

He had been seen in the Dover Street area and at the nightclub on several occasions in the six months prior to the incident.



Detective Constable Tony Esmond of the Westminster Serious Violence Team, said: “There were many people in the club that evening and I am hoping that someone will recognise the man in this photo and be able to help us identify him.”
