Police are hunting a man who assaulted a fellow passenger on a bus in north London.
Officers want to trace a man seen on camera attacking a passenger before allegedly robbing two other passengers on board.
The victim, a 44-year-old man, was waiting to get off the bus when the suspect punched him in the face. He sustained a bloody nose in the attack.
The suspect then re-boarded the bus armed with an object and attempted to attack the victim again, who used his rucksack to protect himself.
Other passengers shouted at the suspect who then ran away.
Moments later, two other passengers, aged 24 and 28, got off the same bus and were assaulted and robbed of their mobile phones by the same suspect.
The 24-year-old victim was taken to hospital suffering cuts to his head, which required stitches.
Officers from the Brent Safer Transport Team released the footage of the incident that took place on board the route N18 bus from Piccadilly to Wembley, early in the morning on the 11th of June last year.
The suspect is described as a Middle Eastern man, aged in his 20s, with short dark hair and a goatee beard. He wore a camouflage hat and dark clothing.
Anyone with information can call 020 8733 3856, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
