| Colin Flett Suffered Serious Injuries |
A
middle-aged man was beaten unconscious by three violent thugs after
leaving a pub, where he had just bought a bike from a passer-by.
Police
are appealing for witnesses and information to the unprovoked attack,
which left him hospitalised and temporarily unable to speak.
Colin
Flett, 52, was found unconscious in Skardu Road, Camden at around
11.30pm on Friday, July 7.
The
assault was not reported to police by his family until several days
later - and Colin spent several weeks unable to speak to either his
family or officers waiting to interview him.
His
sister told officers that her brother had been drinking in the Beaten
Docket, Cricklewood Broadway that night.
While
sitting outside the pub he bought a blue Reebok pedal cycle from man
who he had not met before.
He
left on the cycle and turned into Skardu Road, he remembers
encountering three white men who pushed him off the bike.
He
was unable to recall any more details.
Colin
sustained a spinal injury and medical staff assessed him as needing a
long period of recovery in hospital.
Detective
Sergeant Richard Greenwood from the Central North Area Command said:
"This was a vicious attack that has left Colin with
life-changing injuries, in a very vulnerable state, and has had a
devastating effect on his family.
"We
would urgently ask any person with information, however
inconsequential they may think it is, to come forward and pass this
to us directly or via a third party. They will be treated in complete
confidence."
The
men who attacked Colin are all described as being white and aged
between 20 to 30 years-old.
