Police are hunting a man pictured with a drawn-on moustache in connection with a triple assault in London in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
Believed to have been in fancy dress, the man is suspected of headbutting one of his victims in the incident at around 2.50am - leaving the 42-year-old man with permanent scars.
He is also accused of throwing a 28-year-old woman to the ground and holding her down to prevent her trying to help during the attack in the Tudor Barn pub, Eltham.
Police say they man also punched another male victim, aged 34, in the face.
He was treated in hospital for bruising and swelling to his lip and damage to his front teeth, which police say has caused irreparable nerve and root damage.
According to CCTV images, the suspect also had a drawn-on soul-patch beard just below his top lip and was wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt.
Metropolitan Police described him as white, of large build, and around 6ft tall.
The suspect was aged between 45 and 50, spoke with a London accent and had very short hair.
PC Martyn Peattie, from Plumstead CID, said: "These three victims all suffered at the hands of this man and have been left with injures that required urgent hospital treatment.
"This attack was completely unprovoked and I urge anyone who can identify the suspect to contact me. Any information will be treated in the strictest confidence."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Plumstead CID on 07825 273811 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
