Man stabbed by gang at Homerton bus stop - police appeal for witnesses
Hackney police are hunting a gang who repeatedly stabbed a man during a ferocious attack at a bus stop in Homerton on Thursday night (August 9), and officers have appealed for bus passengers to come forward as witnesses.
The victim, who is still in hospital recovering from the assault, was found by police in Homerton Row at about 9pm.
A Met spokeswoman said the victim was attacked by three men and suffered multiple stab wounds “to his upper and lower body”.
The victim is said to be in a “stable” condition and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
No further details have been released about the victim or the suspects, but Det Insp Glenn Butler, of Hackney’s violent crime unit, said: “This was a serious assault on a young man.
