Bus passengers threatened with meat cleaver in unprovoked early morning attack

Police are appealing for help to identify a man after several bus passengers were threatened with a meat cleaver in south London.

A male passenger was chased from a Route 2 bus at bus stop J on Upper Tulse Hill, SW2 in an unprovoked attack at 6.50am on Sunday, August 9.

The man was not injured, Scotland Yard said.

The suspect had started chasing the man after being challenged regarding the non-payment of his fare, according to police.

Less than an hour later, at 7.45am, the same man threatened a number of people and made a homophobic comment at bus stop P at Elephant and Castle, SE1 before boarding a Route 196 bus.

Police are appealing for help to trace the man who was captured on CCTV.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Roads and Transport Policing Command via 101 quoting reference Cad 2611/09Aug.

If you wish to report anonymously please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or report  online.
