Police are hunting the killer of a Paddington man, who died five days after he was violently mugged for £100 he had just withdrawn from a cashpoint.
Michael Walser, 45, (pictured) was found dead at his flat in Gloucester Terrace on June 24 - a post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as a head injury.
On June 19 he was pushed to the ground, hitting his head, by a robber who approached him from behind in Church Street, St. John’s Wood at 10.30pm – moments after withdrawing the cash.
The only description of the suspect is that he is a white male.
An incident room has opened at Hendon under Acting Detective Chief Inspector Andy Manning who said: “This was an unprovoked, senseless attack on an innocent man.
“I appeal to anyone with information that may assist police, or who knew Mr Walser, to contact the incident room.”
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8358 0300. If you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
On June 28 a 26-year-old man was arrested in connection with the enquiry and taken to a west London police station.
He was bailed pending further enquiries.
