A man is fighting for life in hospital after being attacked near the O2 Arena in the early hours of the morning.

Police were called at around 3.25am on February 12 to Peninsula Square – the walkway from the O2 Arena – following reports of a disturbance involving a large number of people.

They found an unconscious man with a serious head injury who was rushed to a central London hospital in an ambulance.

Police officers in Greenwich have now released three images of a man they wish to question in connection with the alleged assault.

He has a distinctive hair cut with the top slicked back and the sides shaved. He is described as being olive-skinned, aged in his mid 20s and was wearing black clothing on the night.

Two men, both aged 21, were arrested at North Greenwich Underground station in connection with the incident.

Anyone who recognises the man in the image released, or anyone who has any information about the incident, are urged to contact police in Greenwich via 101, or by tweeting @MetCC.
