The charity Crimestoppers has offered a reward of up to £5,000 for information that helps find 23-year-old Muridi Bahdon.
The suspect is wanted for questioning over two recent serious incidents on the London Underground involving a knife.
The two violent incidents are as follows:
Saturday 1 July at around 6.15pm, Earls Court station: Victim was queuing at a shop in the station when a man demanded he handed over his watch. The victim attempted to fend off the armed man using the coat in his hand but was lunged at with a large knife in an attempt to stab him in the stomach. Fortunately, as the suspect fled the scene, the victim sought safety behind the shop counter.
Tuesday 4 July at around 1.40pm, Sloane Square station: A different victim boarded a District Line train when he was approached by a man who sat beside him and began to stare at his watch. Feeling nervous and uncomfortable, the victim left the train at Sloane Square but was quickly approached by the man who produced a large knife and demanded his watch. As the victim tried to escape, he was attacked with a knife, suffering slash injuries to his head. He also endured lacerations to his neck, shoulders and legs. As the victim made a desperate attempt to escape, his shirt was ripped from his body during the assault.
The public are asked not to approach Muridi Bahdon.

If you spot him or know of his whereabouts, you can contact the police on 999. However, to stay anonymous and perhaps be eligible for a reward, you must contact the independent charity Crimestoppers online or by phone.
***Crimestoppers is offering up to £5,000 for information the charity exclusively receives – either online or by calling freephone 0800 555 111 – that leads to the arrest of Muridi Bahdon***
Alexa Loukas, London Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said:
“Our charity is here for those people who know about crime, but don’t want to talk directly to the police. We know it can be difficult to give information about somebody you know, especially if they’re closer to home that you may like. We have to point out that if you’re assisting someone who is wanted for questioning, this can lead to prosecution.
“Crimestoppers has been taking crime information since our charity was formed in the 1980s. Millions of people have trusted us with what they know. Only by working together, can we make our communities safer. Please don’t stay silent. Contact Crimestoppers if you know where he’s hiding. You can speak to us anonymously by calling our UK Contact Centre which is open 24/7 on freephone number 0800 555 111 or you can use our secure anonymous online form. One call or one contact from you can really make a difference.”
***Information passed directly to police will not qualify for a reward. Only information passed to Crimestoppers’ using our anonymous online form or via our 0800 555 111 freephone number will qualify***
Please note: Computer IP addresses are never traced and no-one will ever know you contacted us. For telephone calls, there is no caller line display, no 1471 facility and calls have never been traced.
