Dad & child, 3, rushed to hospital after being shoved to ground in ‘unprovoked’ daylight attack
Date: 2024-10-21COPS 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.
