Police looking for man after 83-year-old woman pushed over and broke pelvis
Police are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man after an elderly woman was assaulted in Ladbroke Grove.
The incident happened at around 11am on July 21, when the 83-year-old victim was assaulted by an unknown man as she boarded the 312 bus on Canal Way, North Kensington.
The male allegedly approached her before pushing her over. She suffered a broken pelvis as a result of the incident and has since been discharged from hospital.
Investigating officer Detective Inspector Julie Trodden said: “This was an unprovoked attack on an elderly women, which I’m sure will cause concern amongst the local community and wider.
“We have carried out a number of enquiries in order to trace the perpetrator and are now appealing for the public to help us.
“Whilst we know the image is not great quality, we are hoping that releasing this may serve as a reminder for anyone who might have seen anything at the time of the incident.”
A spokesman for the Met said: “Anyone who recognises the man in this image or has any information should call 101 or contact @MetCC on X quoting 5590/18SEP23.”
