A woman was left in hospital after a man she did not know threw a “boiling liquid” at her in a south London street.
Scotland Yard has now issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to, as they continue to hunt the person responsible for the attack carried out more than six months ago.
The victim was targeted in Walworth Road, Southwark, near to the junction with Carter Place, shortly before 5.40pm on November 10.
Police and paramedics were sent to the scene, and she was taken to hospital for treatment.
A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: “It was subsequently established that a man - who was not known to the victim - had thrown boiling liquid at her.”
Detectives from the Met’s Central South Command Unit launched an investigation, which has included a review of local CCTV cameras.
On Wednesday, the Met released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to.
Detective Chief Inspector Amanda Mawhinney: “We are yet to identify a suspect in connection with this attack, and this will clearly be of concern to the victim. We have now released an image of a man we want to trace who we think could assist our enquiries.
“Anyone who recognises him or has information that could assist us is asked to make contact immediately.”
