Authorities are urgently searching for a suspect after a man in his 70s was brutally attacked in central London. The victim sustained serious injuries that will have a lasting impact on his life, all because of a random and unprovoked assault by a stranger. Along with the elderly man, an off-duty police officer was also targeted by the assailant.
The incident occurred on October 12th in Covent Garden, and the police have immediately launched an investigation to track down the perpetrator. Reports state that the suspect first punched the off-duty officer before turning his attention to the elderly man who was simply asked for directions. Without warning, the attacker violently pushed the victim to the ground, causing a severe brain bleed and temporary loss of consciousness. The elderly man required 15 stitches on the back of his head.
Thankfully, the off-duty police officer did not sustain any injuries. However, the Metropolitan Police have provided a description of the suspect for the public to be aware of. He is described as a white male, around 5ft 9in tall, with a medium build, and wearing a black jacket. The suspect was last seen fleeing towards Bedford Street.
Detective Sergeant Glenn Smith has urged anyone with information to come forward and assist the investigation. He also emphasized the seriousness of the incident and the impact it has had on the victim's life. The police have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the attack. They are appealing to any witnesses or individuals with information to come forward and help bring justice for the elderly man and his family. Let's work together to ensure our communities are safe and free from such senseless acts of violence.
