A CCTV image has been released of a man police wish to speak to after two apparently random unprovoked attacks on women in Shepherd’s Bush.
One of the victims was left with a serious leg injury after being pushed to the ground outside a pub on the Uxbridge Road at around 2.10am on Sunday 5 December.
Officers on patrol in the area were flagged down by members of the public and directed to the 27-year-old woman who had been attacked by an unknown assailant. She remains in hospital.
A second woman was also pushed over by the same man but she did not sustain serious injuries.
An investigation has been launched by detectives from the Central West CID, which covers Hammersmith and Fulham.
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.”
Information can be provided to them by calling police on 101 and giving the reference CAD 901/05Dec, or by calling Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
