Police are appealing for help to identify a man following an unprovoked attack on board a bus in Camden.
Officers from the Roads and Transport Policing Command have released CCTV images of the man, and ask that anyone who recognises him to come forward and speak to them.
At 16:40hrs on Monday, 4 May, officers on routine patrol on Camden Road, NW1, were informed that that a 69-year-old woman had been found injured in the street.
Officers established that the suspect had kicked the victim’s shopping bag as she got off a Route 29 bus.
When she turned around to confront him, he pushed her hard which caused her to fall backwards and onto the floor.
The woman, who walks with the aid of a stick, suffered a broken leg in the assault. She was taken by the London Ambulance Service to a central London hospital for treatment and after surgery was discharged several days later.
The suspect is described as white, aged between 20 and 25 years old, approximately 5ft 10ins tall, with brown hair. He is believed to have been in the company of a woman who had a red pram.
Anyone who recognises the man is asked to contact 101 quoting crime reference 2312218/20, or contact Crimestoppers 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org .
There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.
