An image has been released of a man police want to identify after a homophobic attack outside a nightclub.
The image was taken from outside the Two Brewers in Clapham High Street at the time of the attack – around 10.15pm on Sunday.
Two men, one aged in their 20s and the other in their 30s, were targeted and stabbed before being taken to hospital and later discharged.
Detective Chief Inspector Jivan Saib from the Central South Command Unit is leading the investigation and said: “I am asking the public to look at this image and see if they recognise this individual – it is vital that we identify and locate him as soon as possible.”
DCI Saib added: “Officers have already collated witness accounts and scoured CCTV for evidence and this work remains ongoing.
“I appreciate those who have come forward and spoken to police but would ask that if you were in the area and saw these events unfold, but have yet to contact us, then please do so.”
