Images have been released of two men police would like to speak to after a man was assaulted in Leytonstone.

The incident took place at around 6.45pm on Friday, November 11, when the 52-year-old victim was walking along Richmond Road.

He was pulled to the ground by two suspects and squirted in the face with an unknown substance.

As the victim got back on his feet he was again knocked to the ground before being kicked a number of times. The suspects then stole his headphones and ran from the scene.

The victim was treated for a dislocated shoulder and bruising.

Detectives launched an investigation and made extensive CCTV and local enquiries. However, they have been unable to identify the suspects.

The victim of the attack has now been able to provide officers with hand-drawn images of the two men involved.

They are both described as black, aged in their late teens to mid-20s. They were both wearing black puffa-style jackets with the hoods up.

Anyone who witnessed the assault or recognises either suspect is asked to contact police via 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on: 0800 555 111.
