Clapham attack: Man, 22, arrested on suspicion of ‘assisting offender’ in manhunt for fugitive Abdul Ezedi

A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of “assisting offender” in hunt for fugitive Abdul Ezedi.

The Metropolitan Police revealed yesterday that Ezedi allegedly used a “very strong concentrated corrosive substance”.

Detectives hunting for alkali attack suspect Abdul Ezedi have arrested and bailed a 22-year-old man on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Investigators are trawling through hundreds of hours of CCTV and have tracked Ezedi’s movements on the Tube network via his bank card, with the latest sighting now on Southwark Bridge at 9.50pm on Wednesday.

The last confirmed time that he used his bank card was on Wednesday, police said.

Counter-terrorism officers are helping sift through CCTV as part of the massive manhunt following the horror attack in Clapham, south London.

A 31-year-old woman may lose the sight in her right eye after the attack while her daughters, aged eight and three, were also hurt but have since been discharged from hospital.
