CCTV shows man knocked unconscious with one punch

The assault occurred back in September at the Custom House Hotel in Newham

Police have released CCTV footage of a suspect knocking a man unconscious with just one punch after an argument.

Detectives investigating the incident hope to learn the identity of the suspect, after police were called to a report of an assault in the early hours of Saturday September 19th at the Custom House Hotel on Victoria Dock Road, Newham.

The man can be seen in the footage having an argument with the victim, before taking his neck in his left arm and hitting him in the face.

After the man lets go, the victim falls onto the hotel counter and then the floor.

The London Ambulance Service treated a 37-year-old man for a cut mouth and bruised eye at the scene, before he was taken to an East London hospital.
