Clapham chemical attack: man arrested on suspicion of aiding offender

Detectives hunting for chemical attack suspect Abdul Ezedi have arrested and bailed a 22-year-old man on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Investigators are trawling through hundreds of hours of CCTV and have tracked Ezedi’s movements on London’s tube network via his bank card, with the latest sighting now on Southwark Bridge at 9.50pm on Wednesday.

The last confirmed time that he used his bank card was on Wednesday, police said.

Counter-terrorism officers are helping sift through CCTV as part of the massive manhunt after the horror attack in Clapham, south London.

A 31-year-old woman may lose the sight in her right eye after the attack, while her daughters, aged eight and three, were also hurt but have since been discharged from hospital.
