The suspect was spotted wearing a blue hoodie, causing alarm among the nearby residents. The incident took place at a London bus stop where an elderly man was brutally attacked, leaving him with a broken hip. The Metropolitan Police is now reaching out to the public for any potential witnesses to come forward and assist with their investigations, nearly three months after the unfortunate incident occurred. It was reported that the 85-year-old man was selflessly helping women and children board the 220 bus at Hammersmith bus station at approximately 1pm on the 2nd of July. He had kindly stopped and held up the passengers behind him to allow the women and children to board, when out of nowhere, a random man began verbally abusing him.
The situation escalated quickly as the perpetrator then proceeded to push the elderly man out of the way, causing him to fall and sustain an injury. The victim was immediately rushed to the hospital, where it was discovered that he had broken his hip as a result of the attack. The suspect, described as a middle-aged Black man wearing glasses, a blue jacket and a black rucksack, is still at large and the authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Sadly, this is not the first incident of its kind in London. In March, an 87-year-old man was tragically killed in an unprovoked attack while on his way to get his free morning paper from a tube station. The victim, Bernard Fowler, was attacked outside Harold Wood station in Havering. Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene by the London Ambulance Service. The British Transport Police have released a photo of Mr. Fowler in hopes of gathering any potential leads, as his family mourns the loss of their beloved brother, father, and grandfather.
In a statement, the devastated family shared their memories of Mr. Fowler and asked for privacy during this difficult time. They described him as a quiet and kind man who had been living in the area for over 20 years. He had always been a helpful and caring member of his local community. The family also expressed their shock and sadness over the brutal and senseless attack that took the life of their loved one. They did not expect such a tragedy to occur while he was simply going about his daily routine.
Following the attack, a 22-year-old man named Sekai Miles from Brent Cross was arrested and charged with the murder. He appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday for a hearing. The incident has caused outrage and shock among the residents of London, with many expressing concern over the safety of the elderly in the city.
