Appeal after unprovoked assault on couple on bus in Tower Hamlets
Detectives investigating an unprovoked attack on a married couple travelling on a bus in Tower Hamlets have released CCTV images of a person they wish to speak to. At around 19:30 on 7 October, the suspect boarded the route 108 bus at Tunnel Avenue, Tower Hamlets, and sat towards the front of the bus. The victims – a man and woman, both 28-years-old - were already sat on the bus towards the back. Whilst waiting for the bus to come to a stop, the suspect approached the female victim and, completely unprovoked, punched her several times. The male victim then tried to intervene, at which point the suspect attacked him too. The suspect used the emergency stop button to open the bus doors, and he made off towards Cotton Street. The woman was left with a fractured skull, and the man sustained swelling and bruising to the face. The suspect is described as a black male with short black hair and no facial hair, around 25-years-old and approximately 5ft 10ins tall.
At the time of the offence, he was wearing a black jacket and trousers.
A man in his mid-20s or early 30s was found with stab wounds at an address in east London.

BT announced in 2017 that it was replacing phone booths with high-tech InLinkUK kiosks that come with ultra-fast 1Gbps Wi-Fi hotspots, a touchscreen offering information and directions, free UK landline and mobile phone calls, and two USB smartphone charging ports.
Over 750 InLinkUK kiosks were due to be installed in London and other cities across the UK.
But one London council now raised concerns that these kiosks are being used to carry out drug deals.
Anyone wanting to attend the count at Tower Hamlets Council will have to undergo stringent checks.
