POLICE ARE LOOKING for a man in connection with assaults on two men and a woman that were carried out at a New Year event.
A CCTV image of the suspect shows him in fancy dress with a moustache and beard drawn on, wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt.
It happened at the Tudor Barn pub in Eltham, London shortly before 3am on New Year’s day.
During the attack, a 42-year-old man was approached and headbutted and received an injury to his eye which has left him permanently scarred.
A 28-year-old woman who tried to intervene and was grabbed and thrown to the ground twice. The suspect held her down to prevent her trying to help.
A second man, aged 34, also attempted to assist and was punched in the face. His front teeth were damaged and he now has irreparable nerve and root damage.
The suspect is described as a white man, of large build and around 6ft. He was aged 45-50, spoke with a London accent and had very short hair.
Despite extensive enquiries the suspect has yet to be identified and there have been no arrests. The motive for the attack is unclear.
PC Martyn Peattie, from Plumstead CID, said: “These three victims all suffered at the hands of this man and have been left with injures that required urgent hospital treatment.
This attack was completely unprovoked and I urge anyone who can identify the suspect to contact me. Any information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Plumstead CID on 07825 273811 or if you wish to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The Go Compare fella? Knew there was a reason I always hated him
Isnt this sort of an irrelevant story?
Last seen tying a damsel in distress to a train track.
Why do we need to know this
Should be in the daily edge section
This looks Copied and Pasted from some British website, complete with UK phone numbers
We moustache you a few questions regarding an assault.
Doubt anyone will recognise through that disguise. Anyway why is this non-story here? Fistfight in london on NYE, no-one died, who cares?
‘The motive for the attack is unclear’. The motive for this story is utterly OPAQUE. Why do you think this is news? It happened in January. In Eltham. In London. Why was this deemed relevant? Bizarre. Was he the relevant in the room?
Really really irrelevant story. Is that the best you can come up with, Journal ??
Poirot has let himself go
Fat idiot
What a recycled half-arsed story. So irrelevant.
Once again I will ask-is this a uk site?were there any recent assaults lately in France maybe?why is this news in ireland?
And yet you’re asking them to write about the assaults in France …
Irony fail Su
What the hell journal. Wtf. This must be a joke?
A five year old child journalist would find a more meaningful and interesting news story relevant to currant Irish or world affairs. Holy fcuk.
D’ya think folks that maybe the Met Police may have asked media organisations in Ireland to publish the story in the belief that the perpetrator has a connection with Ireland and could be identified by someone in Ireland? Whadda’ya think..? Certainly not unknown for British publications to reciprocate….
Journal write out one hundred lines. I must not publish articles that readers don’t want to see but read them anyway so they can have a good old cry about it.
