This is the man police are hunting after two lone women were attacked at knifepoint and slashed with a blade.

Police have issued an image of a man they want to question in connection with serious attacks on two young women within 10 days of each other.
A 19-year-old woman was approached from behind, grabbed by an attacker and cut with a bladed item across her neck in the first of the two assaults.
It happened shortly before midnight on August 7 in Hanworth Road, Hounslow, west London, near the junction with St Stephens Road, Scotland Yard said.
The second incident occurred on Friday, at about 1.30am, in nearby Whitton Road, near the junction with Murray Avenue.
A 26-year-old was approached from behind and sliced across her face with a bladed item.
Both women suffered deep cuts which required hospital treatment.
Detectives have formally linked the two incidents and extra officers have been patrolling the area following the attacks.

A very racist assumption, very distorted headline to create drama. Very misleading, to the writer: you should be ashamed of yourself, you’re the racist.
I’M creating drama? You don’t think the guy slashing people’s throats is creating the drama?
What do you mean “assumption”? The photos clearly show a black suspect, and two white women with their throats/faces slashed. In what sense is it “misleading”? What have I misled people about?
I’m not ashamed of myself. A black man is out there attacking white women. I inform people of this, and you tell me I should be ashamed of myself. Explain why.
As for “you’re the racist”, I don’t even understand what your point is here. Who said anything about anyone being racist? I certainly didn’t. You’ve phrased this in a way which implies that I’ve accused someone else of being racist, when I haven’t.
Anyway, I don’t care if you call me a racist. It’s just a word, it doesn’t mean anything anymore. It’s like “witch” or “heretic”.
I still say you’re racist. If you indulged a bit of research you’d know he’s not a white-hater, but because you’re shallow you rush to think black hates white. You’re as shallow as the people that picked him up and are accusing him. Pathetic
First of all, when did I say he was a white-hater? You’re putting words in my mouth. Do you see me saying he hates whites? Do you see the “Explicitly Racist” tag on this? No. So go attack your Straw Men somewhere else.
Second of all, do you know him? How do you know he’s NOT a white-hater?
Thirdly, just who are you defending here? This is a psychopath who’s out there slashing people, why are you sticking up for him by saying he’s not a racist? And why should we give a shit if he’s consciously “racist” or not, he’s slashing white girls! That’s worse than being “racist”.
Fourthly, so what if I’m racist? What’s your point?
Someone’s out there slashing girls’ throats, and you’re looking for “racism”. Get your priorities sorted.
very good article fuck naggers
