Police want to speak to the two men in these CCTV images in connection with a serious assault of a 39-year-old woman at a pub.

The incident happened at the Nonsuch Inn on London Road in North Cheam on Thursday, March 22 at 5.15pm.

Two men entered the busy pub and approached a dinner table where a man and a woman and their nine-year-old son were sitting.

One of the men punched the woman hard on the nose causing her to collapse to the floor.

The two men departed quickly and made off in two separate vehicles waiting outside.

The vehicles were a silver Golf and a silver Astra van with distinctive orange and red chevrons on the back doors.

Fifteen minutes earlier the couple’s son had run his scooter into a woman waiting at a bus stop outside the pub.

Words were exchanged between the family and the woman, who was waiting for a bus towards Ewell.

One of the men who came into the pub said that this woman was his mother.

The victim suffered a broken nose and fractured cheek and continues to undergo treatment.

The individuals in these photos may not be connected with the offence and may be innocent.
