ROBBERY detectives have released a CCTV image of a suspect they want to speak to in connection with an attack on a woman in a popular Fulham pub.

Despite appeals for help, police have yet to catch the assailant, who struck at The Mitre in Dawes Road at about 3.30pm on January 16 .

The 37-year-old victim was sitting alone when she was approached by the suspect, who put his arm around her shoulder and threatened her with a small knife before demanding her bronze and diamante Michael Kors watch with bronze strap.

The woman was taken to hospital with a minor cut to her arm.

Detectives say the suspect was a black man with 'shiny' skin, aged in his late teens to mid 20's and approximately 5ft 8in tall with a slim build. He had afro hair, a clean shaven face and was wearing a bright electric-blue Puffa jacket with a red item underneath.

Detective Constable Wesley Hawkins of Hammersmith and Fulham Robbery Squad said: "I am keen to speak to anyone who was in Dawes Road at the time and may have seen someone fitting the description of the suspect in the area or leaving the scene following the robbery."

Anyone with information is asked to call the Robbery Squad on 020 8246 2385 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
