Mother and daughter in critical condition after attack with hammer

london - The London police are hunting a 27-year-old man who so severely affected two women in the English capital on Sunday that they now have to fight for their lives in the hospital.

It is about the supposedly mentally disturbed Joe Xuereb, who did not know his victims. The two women, mother and daughter aged 64 and 30, have injuries that correspond to a particularly violent attack. In the vicinity a hammer has been found, probably used to inflict the injuries.

The women were attacked around midday at Adderley Gardens in the southeast of the English capital. They are in critical condition in hospitals in the vicinity.

Meanwhile, the police are hunting with man and power on Xuereb and calling on the public not to approach the man, but to inform the authorities immediately. Xuereb is dangerous, so the injuries of the victims prove. With one of the women, the face is 'half turned off', says a witness to the Daily Star. 'I tried to keep it together. I just got sick. If you were to see it on television, you would turn off the device. '
