Two thieves bundled a great grandmother to the floor before dragging her into the living room and ripping off her jewellery at her home in Southall.
CCTV captures the moment the partially blind 85-year old was "brutally" robbed in her home on Tuesday October 7, 2015 at around 2.20pm.
The elderly lady is seen to be thrown to the floor while two men take her jewellery from her fingers and ears, before dragging the victim along the floor into the living room where they intimated they had a knife.
Metropolitan Police released the footage as they want to speak with a man on the CCTV in connection with what it described as a "brutal" robbery.
The duo escaped after stealing around £300 in cash and jewellery, the Met Police said.
Detective Constable, Nicholas Strachan, of Ealing police, said: “This was a cowardly and wicked attack on a defenceless woman in the home she has lived in for more than 40 years.
"We ask anyone who recognises the man wanted in connection with this incident to contact us.”
Ashan Ali, 22, of Commonwealth Avenue in Hayes, who was arrested in November 2015, is currently serving nine years imprisonment having plead guilty to robbery in connection to the incident and a string of other robbery offences.
Anyone who has any information regarding the man in the CCTV should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
