Bouncer May Lose Sight After Late-Night Punch

A Mayfair club bouncer is fighting to retain the sight in one eye after he was violently punched to the ground in the early hours.

He was part of the security team at Park Lane’s Wyld Club at 1.15am on Monday, December 20 when a group of males were refused entry due to a previous incident.


The victim agreed to discuss the matter away from the venue, where he was suddenly twice punched in the face.


The attack left him with serious facial injuries, which may result in losing the sight in one eye.


The Metropolitan Police have released this image of their suspect and are appealing for the assistance of the public in identifying him.


Detective Constable Ryan Wilson said: “This was a cowardly attack on a member of security staff who has been left with a significant injury that could have an impact on the rest of his life.


“No-one should expect to be subject to this kind of assault for simply doing their job.


“It is completely unacceptable and we are now putting all of our efforts into finding the individual responsible for this attack.


“We are very keen to speak to the man in this image - it is a very clear photograph and we are confident that someone will recognise him and be able to provide us with his details.


“Any information will be treated in strict confidence.”


Anyone who recognises the suspect or has further details on the incident are asked to contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC with reference CAD383/20Dec.
