Italian Restaurant 'Glassing': Do You Know These Thugs?

Police are trying to trace these two suspects after one have-a-go-hero was 'glassed' and his friend violently punched at an Italian restaurant in Central London.

A 32 year-old passer-by suffered serious facial injuries and his 52 year-old companion lost a tooth at Sergios, Great Titchfield Street, Marylebone in the early hours of November 10.

The victims were outside the restaurant with friends when they saw the two suspects attacking a waiter inside.

As they intervened the younger man was struck with a glass, which shattered in his face and his friend was punched in the mouth.

Police are looking to identify the people in the picture, who were dining at Sergios prior to the incident.

They are described as both being approximately 5ft11 in height, around 55 years of age and of heavy build.

One was wearing a white shirt and has short grey hair the other was wearing a dark shirt and has bald or thinning grey hair.

Both had a strong London accent



A third person, a woman aged approximately 40, around 5ft 6 tall with long blonde hair and wearing a dark top, was also dining with these two men, but she is not suspected of any involvement in the attack.

If anyone has any information in relation to who these persons are, or if they witnessed the incident, they are urged to contact DC Anna Petherbridge from the Westminster Serious Violence Team.
