Clapham: Police issue photo of chemical attack suspect with facial injuries at Tesco store

Police have released a new photograph of the suspect in the Clapham chemical attack.

In a statement, Superintendent Gabriel Cameron said: “We are now releasing an image of the last known sighting of Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, which was on Caledonian Road, N1 at 20:48hrs on Thursday, 31 January.

“The image is taken from the Tesco store, where Ezedi is believed to have purchased a bottle of water. He left the shop and turned right.

“The image shows Ezedi with what appears to be significant injuries to the right side of his face. This makes him distinctive.

“If you see Ezedi, call 999 immediately. He should NOT be approached.”

Earlier, police warned the public not to approach the man after a woman and two girls were targeted in Clapham, south London.

The suspect, 35, from Newcastle, was last seen in Caledonian Road in north London earlier on Thursday, officers said.
