A woman was left with life-changing injuries after a bogus delivery man slashed her across the face on her doorstep.
Horrifying CCTV footage of the incident on December 23 last year shows a man getting out of a dark coloured vehicle in Romford before walking to a nearby house.
Clutching a large box, the man approaches the front door before ringing the doorbell and keeping one hand beneath the package.
The young female victim answered her front door to who appeared to be a delivery man before she was lunged at and slashed across the face multiple times.
The knifeman, who was wearing a dark coloured hat and dark clothing with fluorescent stripes, is then seen running away from the home.
The shocking video footage of the attack, which left the victim with lifelong injuries, was released as part of a Crimewatch appeal on Monday in a bid to catch the knifeman.
Anyone with information should call the Metropolitan Police Service incident room on 01708 779110 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
