A woman, 27, suffered a serious leg injury after a random attacker pushed her to the ground outside a pub in Shepherd’s Bush.
She required surgery after the assault at 02.10am on Sunday December 5 in Uxbridge Road. A second woman was also knocked over by the attacker but did not suffer serious injury. Police were flagged down by the public and they launched an investigation.
Detectives from the Central West CID, which covers Hammersmith and Fulham, are leading the inquiry and have released a CCTV image of a man they need to speak with.
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.”
