A man suffered a fractured eye socket after an attacker slammed his head into the floor during a violent robbery in Fulham

A man suffered a fractured eye socket after an attacker slammed his head into the floor during a violent watch robbery in a Fulham park.

The suspect struck the man on the head, as he walked out of Bayonne Park and onto Paynes Walk, and demanded his Tag Heuer watch. The Met Police said the attacker began punching and kicking the victim, a man in his 50s, in the face.

The attacker removed the watch, possibly damaging the pin in the process, and ran off but returned to the scene to steal the victim’s two Motorola mobile phones.

The victim was taken to hospital with head injuries including a fractured eye socket, as well as severe bruising and swelling to his face.
