A man in his 50s was brutally assaulted in an alleged homophobic hate crime in Islington, north London. The events happened on Wednesday, October 18 and the victim was later admitted to the hospital to receive treatment.
The manhunt is on for 28-year-old Alex Ogden, who is believed to be the perpetrator. Authorities have released an image of Ogden, urging the public to help capture him. Detective Constable Lauren Gresty of the North Central Public Protection Unit has warned that Ogden is a dangerous individual and that it is of the utmost importance that he be located as a matter of urgency.
Ogden is not only wanted for this violent assault, but also for a number of other crimes involving violence and robbery. He has a history of violent crimes and may be armed with a knife. The police have issued a stern warning to the public not to approach him under any circumstances. If anyone spots Ogden or has information about his whereabouts, they are asked to call 999 immediately.
Ogden is described as a stocky, white male with a distinctive haircut that he often wears in smaller or longer braids with the sides of his head shaved. He speaks with a Yorkshire accent and is known to travel extensively across the country. He has known links with London, York and Sheffield.
In addition to his list of offences, Ogden is also wanted for failing to appear in court on August 31 after being charged with three counts of common assault at York railway station. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and public cooperation in keeping our communities safe.
