A picture showing the horrific injuries inflicted on a burglary victim has been released by police trying to catch a suspect who remains on the run.
The 55-year-old victim suffered what doctors have described as "life-changing" facial injuries, as well as bruises all over his body, after answering his door to three men on Monday.
While one of the gang attacked him, the other two threatened a 50-year-old woman at the house in Wimbledon, southwest London, and attempted to tape her down to a chair.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police arrested two men at the scene shortly after 10pm but a third suspect - a man in his 20s - ran off towards the town centre.
CCTV showed him running across a road, narrowly avoiding a passing car.
Detective Inspector Dan O'Sullivan, of the Met's burglary squad, said: "The level of violence used was extreme and has left a victim seriously injured and traumatised.
"I must stress this appears to be an isolated incident and such cases are thankfully rare.
"However, this serious attack is now subject of a meticulous inquiry whilst we work to support individuals affected by the events and the local community.
"Officers are currently conducting high visibility patrols and speaking to residents to answer their concerns."
The two men arrested at the scene remain in custody.
As well as witnesses to the attack, police would like to speak to people who saw a silver Volkswagen two-door cabriolet which is believed to have been used by the suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Met on 020 8649 3159. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
