A MAN was robbed of his laptop after being attacked in the neck at a house in Camden Town.

Detectives investigating the assault have released CCTV pictures of a suspect they want to speak to. The victim, 51, had met his suspected attacker at Marble Arch in the early hours of November 1, officers said.

A police statement said: "After a short conversation, they went to an address in the NW1 area of Camden where it is understood the suspect attacked the victim to his neck causing him to lose consciousness. When the victim came round, he discovered that the suspect had left the venue taking a Sony laptop computer. The victim was taken by ambulance to a central London hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged from hospital and continues his recovery."

Detective Constable Darren Brownrigg, from Camden CID, said: "This was a vicious attack on a middle-aged man by a suspect who apparently left him with very serious injuries. I urge anyone who may recognise the man in this latest CCTV to contact police on 101."
