Police
are hunting this suspected thug after a middle-aged bank customer
suffered a broken jaw after being struck from behind in east London.
Police
were called to Chingford Mount Road, Chingford at 4.55pm on
Wednesday, October 25, last year after the 53 year-old victim was
attacked.
In
the lead up to the attack the victim went to Barclays Bank
accompanied by two companions, intending to withdraw cash.
The
bank was closed, but the victim could see a customer inside the
branch.
A
short while later the customer inside the branch was guided out of
the bank by a member of staff.
The
victim and his companions began walking along Chingford Mount Road
away from the bank when the victim felt a blow to the side of his
head and fell to the floor.
The
suspect, the man they had seen earlier inside the bank, made off on
foot towards New Road.
The
suspect is described as a black man, with short dark hair and wearing
white trainers, a dark coloured t-shirt and blue tracksuit bottoms.
The
victim was taken to an east London hospital with a fractured jaw.
He has since been
discharged from hospital.
Detective
Constable Noble Adu Agyapong from Waltham Forest CID said:
“Eight months has passed since this violent and unprovoked attack
and I am committed to finding the person responsible.
“A
number of lines of enquiry have been followed up during the
investigation and I am now appealing to anyone with information about
the attack or the whereabouts of the man in the CCTV to get in
touch.”
Anyone
with information is asked to contact Waltham Forest CID by calling
101 and quoting CAD 5690/24OCT17, tweet @MetCC or call Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555 111.
