Did you see attack on estate? Police are appealing for witnesses after a violent attack on a 34-year-old man in Elephant & Castle
Police are appealing for witnesses after a violent attack on a 34-year-old man which left him hospitalised.
A 73-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after police found a man who had been beaten about the head with a metal bar at a communal area of Barrett House, Browning Street, Elephant and Castle on August 26 at around 8pm.
The man was taken to a South London police station and was released on bail.
The injured man was taken to a South London hospital where his injuries were not life threatening.
Detective Constable Nick Heywood said: “I know there were witnesses to this incident who have not yet spoken with police and I would like to ask those people to make contact and tell us what they saw.
“If you were there either before, after or during this incident, please contact us. No matter how little you think you saw, please do make the call.
“Your information could complete the picture of events that we are building.”
Anyone with information should call Southwark CID on 101 quoting CAD7473/26AUG, Tweet @MetCC or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
