A man attacked in an “extremely violent” attempted watch robbery in Soho has been left with lasting injuries to his face.
The Metropolitan Police has released new images after the 28-year-old victim was attacked in the early hours of December 27 on Frith Street as the two suspects tried to grab his watch.
After failing to engage him in conversation, the suspects saw the man walk off before attacking him ten minutes later by punching him repeatedly in the face. But despite the viscious onslaught, they were unable to take the watch and the victim escaped.
