The victim was then struck by one of the suspects sustaining cuts to his eyes and lip that required stitches.
Both suspects, who are described as being 20 to 25 years old, with east London accents, slim builds and wearing dark clothing, then walked off along Columbia Road.
One is 6ft tall and the other is 6ft 1in to 6ft 3 ins tall with a darker complexion.
