Abdul Ezedi: What we know about Clapham attack suspect's movements

More than one week on from the chemical attack in London that left a mother and her daughters in hospital, the suspect, Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, is believed to remain on the run.

The 35-year-old was last seen on the day of the attack and police believe he has either come to some harm or is getting help to evade them - despite the £20,000 reward in place for information that could lead to his arrest.

However, a detailed picture of his movements on the day - Wednesday 31 January - has emerged and police say they are working tirelessly to track Ezedi down.

His car was spotted in Newcastle shortly after midnight but had travelled almost 300 miles (480km) to reach Tooting in south London at 06:30 GMT. It was then spotted in Croydon on the edge of the capital at 16:30.

Police say there is a "very strong indication" that Ezedi, who is believed to have travelled to the UK on a lorry from Afghanistan in 2016, had been in a relationship with the woman hurt in the attack and had arranged to meet her in London.

They say the breakdown of their relationship may have been his motive.

His car was spotted in Streatham, south London, at 19:00 - 25 minutes later in Lessar Avenue, Clapham, the attack, which involved the use of a "very strong concentrated corrosive substance", took place inside the vehicle.

Residents who heard a "crash" and a "cry for help" rushed to their aid and one witness told the BBC they saw the suspect lift a young child over his head and throw her on to the ground like a "rag doll", adding it was like a "horror movie".

The 31-year-old woman remains sedated in hospital and police say she may lose sight in her right eye as a result. Her daughters - aged three and eight - have been discharged and are recovering.

Five Met Police officers were injured as they responded, as were four members of the public who tried to help. Ezedi himself was also injured.

His car was found abandoned after crashing nearby and police say he then boarded a train at Clapham South Underground Station - with further sightings at and around King's Cross Underground Station, before he travelled by Tube to Tower Hill.

While at King's Cross he was caught on CCTV buying a bottle of water at Tesco Express on Caledonian Road. The image clearly shows the injury he sustained to his face during the attack - an injury police later described as "very significant" and potentially even fatal if not treated.

After leaving Tower Hill Underground Station he was spotted at several points as he made his way west - first along the north of the Thames and then, after crossing at Westminster Bridge along the south of the river. He crossed back over Vauxhall Bridge and was last seen on Grosvenor Road.

Police say they have received more than 600 calls relating to the attack in the past week and have carried out a string of searches at addresses in both London and Newcastle - including two in the early hours of Thursday 8 February at a pizza takeaway in Newcastle where he worked and a flat above.

The Met says the manhunt now involves more than 100 officers, and is being supported by even more officers from forces across the UK, including Northumbria Police and British Transport Police.

They have also brought in experts in tracking offenders using CCTV from their Counter Terrorism fugitive team - and have released several CCTV images of Ezedi along the route - including on Albert Embankment moments before the final sighting.

However, with more than a week gone it appears officers are keeping an open mind on where he could be now.

"He could have gone north, he could have gone east, south, west or he could have gone abroad," Cdr Jon Savell said.

He added that it was possible that Ezedi had gone into the River Thames, but he also said there had been no reports of anyone doing so and no bodies have been recovered that match his.
