Detectives from the Metropolitan Police have released some shocking CCTV footage (below) of a man they want to speak to following a confrontation over face masks that led to an NHS worker being punched to the ground and stamped on the head before being left unconscious on a bus in north London.

The 63-year-old victim, who works for NHS track and trace, was punched repeatedly to the floor. As he lay on the floor, he then had his head stamped on five times during the unprovoked attack by another passenger on Sunday, 23 August.

The victim had boarded the Route 149 bus shortly before Seven Sisters station and stood by the middle doors of the bus, while the suspect boarded the bus at the next stop, at approximately 21:45hrs.

CCTV footage shows that around five minutes later, the suspect followed the victim towards the back doors, where the NHS worker had gone to try and put some distance between them

But then, without any warning or provocation, the thug launched into a prolonged violent physical attack on the victim.

Investigating officer PC Chris Bowman, from the Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: 

“Although there is no sound on the CCTV and all the victim remembers is waking up in hospital, we believe that this was all triggered by face masks. We think that the attacker, who had his face covering beneath his chin, took offence when the victim, who was fully covered, consciously moved away from him.

“When the attacker then follows the victim to the back of the bus, he can be seen pointing and gesturing at the victim’s face mask before he starts repeatedly punching and kicking him. This was a totally unwarranted violent assault, and we urgently need to speak to this man.

“If anyone knows who he is or has any other information – or witnessed this offence – please call.”

The suspect is described as a black man aged approximately 23-25 years, tall and with an athletic/muscular build. He was wearing blue tracksuit bottoms, a white vest and white trainers.

Anyone with information should call detectives on 07880 429 486 or 101 quoting ref CAD 7981/23Aug. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or tweet @MetCC with any information.

    Not all BLM hope they find this piece of shite and if there is a judge out there not living in La la land locks him up for 10 years as they should with anyone who attacks our N.H.S and police workers, hope the victim is o.k

    Judge wont give a big sentence as they will be afraid of being labelled racist. Hopefully all BLM supporters will get behind this and bring him out of hiding to show that there not just a unorganised group hell bent on destruction and violence
