A man who was chased and stabbed repeatedly by a gang of thugs is fighting for his life in hospital.
Police and the London Ambulance Service raced to the scene in Harrowgate Road, Homerton, last night just after 6pm.
The victim, a man in his 20s, was found suffering a “number of stab wounds” according to Scotland Yard.
He is in an east London hospital with “life-threatening injuries”.
A spokesman for the Met said: “At this early stage detectives believe that the victim was chased by a number of individuals before being stabbed. They made off from the scene shortly afterwards.”
