Detectives have released an image of a man they wish to trace after a pensioner was viciously attacked and left lying in the street for almost ten hours.
Richard Merry, 65, was brutally assaulted outside Eden Court in Station Road, Ealing between 2am- 3am on Tuesday 13 September. He was found lying on an area of grass by workman at about 12:30 that day.
He sustained injuries including a laceration to his left ear, cuts to his head and face, damage to eye sockets and cracked ribs. The victim has also suffered brain injuries.
More than two months after he was hospitalised, Mr Merry needs continuous care but is eager to help police in locating the man that left him for dead.
CCTV enquiries have shown the victim with an unknown male, appearing to have an argument near to Eden Court.
Detectives from Ealing CID are appealing for information from anyone who can identify the man shown in the image, or anyone who may have been with Mr Merry prior to the incident.
DC Joe Cato of Ealing CID said: "Mr Merry was the victim of a vicious assault and then left outside to be found hours later.
"He has agreed to be named, and for an image of his injuries to be released, to support our appeal for witnesses and information.
"I would urge anyone who can recognise the man shown in the CCTV still, or has other information that may assist the inquiry, to call police."
Anyone with information that may assist the investigation should call Ealing CID via 101.
