A TEENAGER who was bottled at a football centre in Beckenham might not have been the intended victim.

Police say there is strong evidence to suggest the attack at Goals, Copers Cope Road, was a case of mistaken identity.

The 17-year-old victim was left with cuts to his nose, around his eyes and to his left cheek after the bottle was smashed in his face.

Officers say the suspect is a light skinned Asian male, around 5ft 7in tall and aged about 18.

They want to speak to the man pictured in connection with the assault that took place on September 5 last year at around 11.30pm.

Anyone who can help identify him should call Detective Constable Pete Murray at Bromley police CID on 020 8284 8859.
