Detectives investigating a homophobic attack on two men outside a South London nightclub have released fresh images of a man they want to trace.
The two victims, in their 20s and 30s, were attacked with a knife outside the Two Brewers, in Clapham High Street at about 10.15pm on Sunday August 13.
The Metropolitan Police, who are treating the incident as homophobic, has released an image of a man on a number 50 bus in Thornton Heath at 8.30pm that night.
Detective Chief Inspector Jivan Saivb, who is leading the investigation, called on the public to think about whether they could name or identify the man pictured.
“These images provide a clearer picture of the person we need to identify and locate following this shocking attack,” he said.
“I would urge people to look at these images – do you know this man? Do you recognise the clothes he is wearing?
“If you can help identify him then please get in touch.”
The images, which are the latest to be released following an earlier appeal on Tuesday, show the man wearing a black and grey hooded coat with a red zip and a black facemask, as well as red and black gloves.
The police said the incident happened as the two victims were standing outside the nightclub, when they were approached by a man who attacked them with a knife before running away.
No arrests have been made so far, and police inquiries are ongoing.
The men have since been sent home from hospital.
It comes as the Met Police have increased safety measures in the area following the attack, with nightclub staff being escorted to their cars by police in Clapham and Vaxuhall.
