Police are looking for a violent bandit who grabbed a guy from behind and thrashed him on the ground before stealing his $1,250 watch in broad sight.
Following the heist in Fulham, detectives have made the video and the picture of the individual they want to talk to the public.
On September 1, shortly after noon, the incident occurred when the victim, who is in his fifties, was strolling through Bayonne Park.
He saw the culprit approaching a number of bystanders and tried to leave when he was assaulted.
In the vicious attack, the victim’s head was banged on the ground after being hauled to the floor.
According to the police, the person who assaulted him demanded that he take off his Tag Heuer watch, which starts at £1,250.
The culprit started punching and kicking the victim in the face repeatedly despite his attempts to fight back.
He perceived the guy take off his watch, maybe breaking the pin in the process.
The culprit fled, but he subsequently came back to take the victim’s Motorola phones. He took off running south on Paynes Walk.
The victim was injured in the head and transferred to the hospital. This incident left him with swollen face, significant bruises, and a cracked eye socket.
The investigation’s chief detective inspector, Detective Inspector James Griffin, stated: “This was a very brutal assault, and my team needs the public’s assistance to apprehend this individual. Robberies are handled by specialized personnel, and this proactive operation will continue in all of our boroughs.
“We are doing all we can to find the offender before he can hurt anybody else.” We are requesting that anybody who was contacted by this individual at the park or who saw anything strange get in touch with us right away.
The suspect is a black man with a slim physique, short, clipped black hair, and little facial hair. He was dressed in light grey pants and a green hooded sweater.
