Detectives have issued a CCTV image of a suspect after a man in his twenties was injured during an attempted knifepoint robbery in Isleworth last month.
Police were called at 11.40am on Monday 29 June to Burlington Road, TW7, after an unknown man approached the victim on a bicycle, produced a knife and demanded his phone and money. A struggle followed, during which the victim suffered a knife wound to his hand. The suspect then fled on an e-bike.
Officers attended alongside the London Ambulance Service. The victim was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital, where his injury was confirmed as neither life-threatening nor life-changing.
No arrests have yet been made.
Detectives have now released an image of the suspect, who is described as a Black man aged around 18 to 20. He was wearing a black cap, black hooded top and black jogging bottoms, along with a blue surgical mask and glasses. He was riding a white or silver E-bike.
Detective Constable Dan Horner, who is leading the investigation, said the incident had left the victim shaken. “This was a terrifying incident for the victim, who suffered a cut to his hand as he fought off this thief,” he said. “Despite significant enquiries, including house-to-house enquiries and tracking the suspect’s route from the scene, we have been unable to identify this man. If you recognise the male or have information that could help our investigation please get in touch with us.”
