Adam Glanville and his mother Karima Mahmoud, 43 were last seen together on 3 June 2024 in Richmond, south-west London.
The child has not been seen since, but officers investigating the pair’s whereabouts received report of a sighting of Ms Mahmoud in the area of Bedfont Road in Feltham on 24 October.
Now, the Metropolitan Police has released images of two men in their search as detectives continue to appeal for the public’s help in finding the missing pair.
The force said the men were involved in a fight with another man on the day the mother and son were last seen together, but it is not believed they caused Adam or Ms Mahmoud any harm.
One man is pictured with dark hair, including facial hair, while the other is shown with grey hair, a beard and thick-rimmed glasses, wearing a t-shirt that has “Run DMC” written in large letters on the front.
Detective Sergeant Mary Dawson, who is leading the investigation, said: “We need the public’s help to locate Karima and Adam.
“Karima is in breach of a family court order and police are trying to locate them both.
“I also want to identify and speak with the two men shown in the image released today.
“They were involved in an altercation with a man at the time Karima and Adam were last seen together on 3 June – the images were taken then.
“I do not believe they have caused any harm to Karima or Adam, but I believe they may have information as to their whereabouts.”
