Police are appealing for information after a man was left with severe injuries after being attacked in West Norwood.

Police and London Ambulance Service were called to Station Rise on Friday, March 30 at about 9.30pm to reports of a 39-year-old male having been attacked by three men.

LAS took the victim to a south-London hospital where he was diagnosed with a severe head injury.

He has since been released from hospital and is recovering from his injuries.

The next day officers arrested a 20-year-old man in connection to the attack on Brixton Road. He was bailed to return at a date at the end of April.

Then on April 1, a 44-year-old man and a 24-year-old man were also arrested in connection to the attack. They have also been bailed to return at the end of April.

Detective Constable Carolina Luby, from Brixton CID, said: "Although three arrests have been made, we would still strongly urge any witnesses to come forward and report what they saw to us. His injuries suggest he was punched and kicked.

"Were you there and did you see anything?

"This was a very violent attack in which, luckily, the victim did not suffer any permanent damage.

"I would encourage anyone with information to get in touch."
