Horrific pub attack leaves barman blind in one eye

A member of staff at a pub in Peckham has lost sight in one eye after being stabbed.

At around 12.30am on November 5, the victim was working at the Prince of Peckham pub in Clayton Road, when he was attacked.

A 31-year-old woman was arrested the following day on suspicion of GBH with intent and possession of a knife in a public place. She has since been charged.

Police have issued an appeal for more information and witness accounts.

DC Ashleigh Mullins, of the Met’s South Central BCU, said: “Although a person has been charged and a number of witnesses spoken to, I believe there are other witnesses who are yet to speak with police. The pub and the area outside the pub were very busy.

“There was a vicious crime which resulted in a serious injury to a man who was working at the pub. It is vital that anyone who saw the incident or the aftermath gets in touch to share what they know.”

Any witnesses yet to speak with police are asked to call 101 and quote CAD246/5Nov. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity, Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
