He’s described as a dark-skinned black man, approximately 5ft 8ins tall and of medium build. He may have had short dreadlocks.
Det Insp Tom Williams said: “This was an outrageous and brazen attack that happened in the middle of rush hour on a Monday morning, in which luckily, no one was injured.
“Firearms have absolutely no place on London’s streets and we are carrying out a full and thorough investigation into locating this man and making sure that he appears before the courts.
“We are following numerous leads, but are also appealing for anyone with any information to contact us as soon as possible.
“On this occasion, no one was physically harmed, but no doubt the traumatic experience will affect the victim for years to come.”
