New CCTV images now reveal suspected acid attacker Abdul Ezedi’s last known route on-foot after a horrific incident in Clapham.
A corrosive substance was thrown in the face of a 31-year-old mother on Wednesday (January 31), in Lessar Avenue, leaving her with life-altering injuries – and in a stable yet critical condition in hospital.
Her two daughters, aged three and eight, suffered injuries not “as serious as first thought”, despite being caught up in the ordeal.
The search for the ex-asylum seeker, 35, has gone into a sixth day, with specialist officers drafted in to try and track him down. And now Met Police officers have unveiled the “painstaking overnight work” which allows them to confirm his last movements.
They now say CCTV places Ezedi’s “last known position” at 9.47pm on Allhallows Lane, EC3, on the night of the attack.
At 9.54pm he travelled along Upper Thames Street and then into Pauls Walk, EC4. He passed the City of London School and then towards Blackfriars Bridge. The last sighting is at 10.04pm when he passed the Unilever building and headed towards Victoria Embankment.
