COPS are hunting a man after a dad was shoved to the ground while walking with his three-year-old child in an “unprovoked” attack.

The man was walking along Westbourne Grove in Notting Hill, west London at 1.02pm on October 5 and was seen on CCTV pushing a male victim to the floor.

The victim, who was walking with his three-year-old child at the time, fell to the floor and hit his head into a wall.

This caused “quite serious injuries, including bleeding, a fractured eye socket and heavy bruising”, cops said.

The victim and his child have since been discharged from hospital, but require further treatment.

The man has been described as a black male, of medium to large build, around the age of 40.

He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, blue trousers, with a pair of white trainers and a blue baseball cap.

Enquiries are ongoing but police say it appears at this stage to be an unprovoked attack.

The Met Police published an image of a man they would like to speak to following an assault in Notting Hill, west London.

Cops said in a statement: “If you recognise this man or if you have any information which could help, please report it to police online or call 101 quoting 3239/05OCT24.

“Alternatively this can be reported to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
