POLICE are appealing for a man who helped an assault victim to come forward to assist them with their inquiries.

On Saturday, a 40-year-old man was riding his bicycle along College Close, Edmonton, at around 11.20am when he was surrounded by three men, who assaulted and robbed him.

Three suspects have been identified, arrested and charged, but detectives want to trace another man who came to the victim’s aid shortly after the offence occurred.

Anyone with any information is asked to call DC Polat Hussein of the Robbery and Burglary Unit on 0208 345 4397.
