We still need to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the events leading up to Anthony's murder
Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Police launched an appeal for information surrounding his death, leading to the arrest of a 58-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
He has been bailed until January pending further enquiries.
On Wednesday, a 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. He has also been bailed to a date in January.
Police believe Mr Littler was murdered in a random attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, who is leading the investigation, said: “These arrests come just days after our latest appeal, and I would like to thank everyone who has already come forward with information.
“However, we still need to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the events leading up to Anthony’s murder.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 020 8358 0100 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
