The victim from Brent was allegedly chased before he was attacked by a group of people.

A section of Olympic Way was cordoned off for at least four days last week, with restricted access to the front of Novotel and the Costa shut completely.

The public were diverted around the path to the stadium, and instead had to walk through the Stadium Retail Park to be able to continue walking to Boxpark, the stadium and the London Designer Outlet.

Police say enquiries into the circumstances continue.
