Police have released CCTV footage of two people they think attacked and robbed a 70-year-old man at a cash machine in Wembley, north west London.
As he lay on the ground a woman then took the cash that he had withdrawn from the dispenser of the ATM.
The victim was taken to hospital where he was treated for his injuries, which included a fracture to the skull. He has lost hearing in one ear as a result of the attack and now has mobility issues which has forced him out of work.
On Saturday, the force released CCTV footage of a man and a woman who they believe are the two who carried out the robbery.
Detective Sergeant Muhamed Ahmed said: “We have searched through many hours of CCTV and we believe we know who we are looking for - a woman can be seen in a fur hoodie with camouflage trousers hovering around the area where the ATM machine is.
“The same woman can then be seen speaking with another suspect, a man with a dark beard wearing a jacket with the hood up. The CCTV then later shows them both running away after the robbery.
“I am appealing to the public for help - if you know or recognise either of the suspects then please come forward to the police. This was a premeditated attack which left an elderly man injured.”
