The 90-year-old was assaulted outside a residential address in Marylebone on 22 November.
Police were called to the residential address in Jerome Crescent, NW8, at 07:10 GMT.
A man and a woman approached the victim from behind, before striking him on the head and pushing him to the floor. They took his wallet, which contained his pension money and bank cards.
Detective Sergeant Jonathan Bradshaw, from Westminster CID, said, “The victim was attacked and robbed of his pension money as he was heading to see a friend. Luckily he sustained no injuries but was left shaken up by the attack.”
“This was a cowardly attack on a vulnerable man, who was unable to fight back and defend himself. We’re very keen to find the perpetrators and are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the incident to contact police.”
Appeal
The police are looking to speak to a black man in his 30s, described as having a muscular build and 6ft 1in tall. He was wearing a light coloured hooded top, black trousers and white trainers.
The female suspect is described as white, in her early 30s, with red hair, approximately 5ft 9ins tall and of a thin build. She was wearing a yellow coat and carrying a large black bag.
