Police have released the image of a man they want to trace in connection with a violent assault in Hackney.
The victim was standing in the smoking area of a bar in Kingsland Road, Haggerston just after 1am on September 13 when a man approached and tried to speak to her, but she refused to engage.
He then jumped over a fence and rushed at her before punching her several times in the face and fled the scene.
She was left with a large cut to her cheek and required hospital treatment.
Police now want to speak to the man in the CCTV image who they believe can help with their enquiries.

“This was a frightening and cowardly attack and it is imperative we find the person responsible.”
