• Man With Brolly Butted By Stranger - Captured On CCTV

01 June 2018

CCTV has again been put to good use by the police - in this instance the City of London police - as a violent attack was captured on Tower Bridge.

Officers have taken a number of steps since the incident on Monday, 30 April 2018, viewing CCTV, speaking to staff in the local area, sharing CCTV stills on police intelligence systems and revisiting the area where the assault happened. They are now calling on the public to help identify the man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident - and ThisWeekinFm is only too pleased to help.

The CCTV footage shows the victim walking northbound on the west side of Tower Bridge at 8:00am, while the other man walked in the opposite direction. After a brief exchange of words, the assault took place, leaving the victim, in his 50s, understandably shaken and with a gash to his forehead.
