Police are appealing to the public for help to find a man they wish to speak to in connection with an aggravated burglary in Ealing in which a 66-year-old woman was attacked.
Last month (18 May 2023), police were called to a report of an attack on a women at her home in Castlebar Park, W5. When officers arrived, she told them that at around noon, two men knocked on her door but when she answered, they fled. A little while later, the woman answered the door and the same two men forced their way into her home with one of the men throwing her to the floor and assaulting her while the other searched the home.
Police say they then fled without taking anything. The women was taken to hospital where she was treated for severe bruising and swelling before being discharged.
Detective Constable Mark Gordon, leading the investigation said: “This was a brutal attack and one which has understandably left the victim extremely shaken. She was lucky not to suffer more serious injuries, but we need to make sure the individuals responsible for this attack are unable to carry out similar offences.
“We are very keen to speak to 36-year-old Pawel Krawczyk and would ask anyone who knows him or recognises these images to get in touch. He has a number of distinctive tattoos including stars on the side of his head and there must be people who have recently seen him. Anyone with information on his whereabouts, please contact us immediately on 101/999 on 3771/18May.”
One man has been arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary in connection with this incident. He has been bailed to return on a date in late August.
