The footage that was caught on CCTV inside of the property then switches to the kitchen where an occupant inside the address at the time of the incident is assaulted by two of the males.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said:

“They attacked the occupant of the house, beating him & throwing liquid into his face before stealing phones & a wallet.
“If you have any information then please call the police on 101”.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
