Police are now hunting for a man on an e-bike in connection to the robbery
Police have launched a CCTV appeal after a man was slashed in the hand during an attempted knifepoint robbery in Isleworth. At about 11.40am on Monday, June 29, an unknown man approached the victim on an e-bike in Burlington Road, produced a knife and demanded he hand over his phone and money.
The victim was knifed in the hand during the struggle that ensued before the suspect fled. Paramedics found the victim, a man aged in his 20s, at the scene and took him to hospital, where his injuries were found to be neither life-threatening nor changing.
No arrests have been made so far, and police have launched a witness appeal to help track down the alleged attacker. The suspect is described as Black, aged between 18 and 20 and was wearing a black cap, black hooded top and black jogging bottoms.
He was wearing a blue surgical mask and glasses, and was riding a white or silver e-bike.
Detective Constable Dan Horner, who is leading the investigation, said: “This was a terrifying incident for the victim, who suffered a cut to his hand as he fought off this thief. Despite significant enquiries, including house-to-house enquiries and tracking the suspect’s route from the scene, we have been unable to identify this man.
“If you recognise the male or have information that could help our investigation, please get in touch with us.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting CAD 3147/29JUN26, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
