Four women wanted after Thornton Heath bus attack

Detectives have released images of four women they wish to identify after two people were assaulted on a bus in Thornton Heath.

The victims – a man and a woman – were sitting on the top deck on the route 250 bus from Streatham to Croydon at around 12.30am last August.

Four females sitting behind them then struck the woman with a bottle as the bus approached Brigstock Road.

Both victims moved from their seats but they were followed before the man was struck with a crutch. The attackers then left the bus.

The man required hospital treatment for a head injury.

Anyone who recognises the females pictured or who has information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD235/28Aug2022.
