Knocked Out Cold: Police Hunt Pub Pair

Police hunting the brutal attackers of two middle-aged men - knocked out cold while leaving a pub – have released these CCTV images of their suspects.

One of the victims, aged 59, suffered a bleed on the brain and was in critical condition and a 53 year-old victim was hospitalised with a serious head injury.

They were attacked after leaving the White Hart pub in Eltham High Street, Eltham, south-east London after 10.00pm on October 24.

Police carried out CCTV enquiries and established the pair were assaulted by three men after leaving the venue.

A 33-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, October 27 on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. 

He was interviewed and released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Detective Sergeant Ian Barnard, from the Metropolitan Police's South East Basic Command Unit (BCU), said: “We have reviewed CCTV and taken witnesses statements to piece together the events of that evening in an attempt to identify those responsible.

This was a disgraceful and unprovoked attack, which has left a man fighting for his life in hospital. 

I would urge anyone who recognises the men in these images to contact police as soon as possible.”

Anyone who recognises the men or has information about the incident is asked to call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting reference 8247/24OCT20.
