Police are appealing for help tracing a man believed to live in the Hammersmith area, who is wanted in connection with a violent assault in Bow in East London.

The man, pictured above is 28 year-old Anton Ward.

The assault took place on Wednesday 9 May, when Ward had met a man through a gay dating app and arranged to visit his address in Bow.

After they met, Ward assaulted the victim - punching him in the face and head - before leaving the flat.
