Police are appealing for information after a man was pounced on inside the toilets of a Kingston pub and left with head injuries.

The 35-year-old man was assaulted in Woody’s in Ram Passage by three other men just after midnight on Saturday, June 20.

The group had been involved in an argument before the victim was followed into the toilet and hit a number of times.

His forearm was also cut with a knife by one of the assailants.

Paramedics arrived and took the injured man to a south London hospital but he was later discharged.

The attackers are believed to have run off towards the high street and got away by car. A knife was later recovered.

Dom Clarke, owner of Woody's, said: "Two weeks ago there was an incident where a man was followed into the toilets at Woody’s. 

"The staff reacted immediately and diffused the situation, but in the struggle the man in question was cut by a knife.

"I would like to take the opportunity to praise the staff on their quick thinking and professional response in extremely unusual circumstances – the only time in Woody’s seven year history that the police have been called. 

"The police were very impressed by how the matter was dealt with and we continue to help them with their inquiries."

Gary Cormack, 27, of Bolingbroke Grove, from Wandsworth has been charged with one count of actual bodily harm and has been bailed to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on July 21.

Police are also searching for a man described as of Middle Eastern appearance wearing a long-sleeved light blue jumper, dark jeans and trainers.

No description is currently available for the alleged third attacker.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the assault.
