Taxi driver attacked at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5

The Met Police is looking to identify two men pictured on CCTV

Two men are being hunted by police after a taxi driver was injured in a "violent and seemingly unprovoked" attack at Heathrow airport.

The driver was left with eye and nose fractures when he was punched in the face in the Terminal 5 arrivals hall.

He was injured between 05:30 and 05:45 GMT on 10 January as he waited to collect a passenger, the Met said.

The two men the force wants to talk to had travelled by bus from Woking to the airport, it said.

Det Con Ben Benlounes, from the Met's aviation policing command, said: "This was a violent and seemingly unprovoked attack, which has left the victim with very serious injuries to his face.

"We have made a number of enquiries to try to identify the men, and we're now releasing these images to see if anyone can help us with this.

"If you have any idea about who these people could be, then I urge you to get in touch with us and let us know."
