Police Launch Urgent Hunt After Brutal Push
Detectives from Central West CID in Hammersmith and Fulham have now launched a full investigation. On Tuesday 14 December, they released CCTV footage of the man they want to question.
Detective Constable Laura McDonagh said: “This was a completely random assault, in which a man – without any provocation – pushed two women to the pavement.
The injuries suffered by one of the women will require ongoing treatment and she has been left severely impacted by them.
Assaults on women will not be tolerated and we remain committed to identifying the man responsible. I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time to come forward and speak with us.
Likewise, if you recognise the man in the image, please phone police.”
