Police are hunting a 22-year-old man wanted in connection with an attempted murder and a serious assault.

Peter O’Brien is wanted for an attempted murder and arson that occurred in West Kingsdown, Kent, on August 19. The man suffered serious head injuries during the attack, Scotland Yard said.

O’Brien is also wanted in connection with the robbery and assault of a woman in Greenwich in July.

Police said the victim was punched and strangled, leaving her with a fractured skull.

O'Brien, who members of the public have been urged not to approach, is also wanted in connection to the supply of class A drugs.

People have been asked to dial 999 for any immediate sightings.

He is known to frequent Charlton, Woolwich, Eltham and Kidbrooke, as well as Gravesend and West Kingsdown in Kent.

If you have any information as to his whereabouts call the Met police on 101 quoting reference 2070/01OCT. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
