(Picture: PA Archive)Detectives investigating an assault near Victoria Coach Station have made an arrest after a man voluntarily walked in to a west London police station.
The 33-year-old was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and was subsequently released under investigation.
It follows an assault on a Polish man, aged in his 30s, just before 8pm on Saturday June 18 in Elizabeth Street.
Video footage of the assault was widely shared on social media and the victim, who was taken to hospital for treatment and then discharged, has reportedly described it as a racist assault over his Polish identity but the Metropolitan Police said it is not currently being treated as a hate crime.
A Met spokesman said: “Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.”
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or to tweet @MetCC, with the reference CAD 7204/18JUN.
Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, by calling 0800 555 111.
