Police are looking for two men who beat and stabbed a man during an unprovoked attack in Manor Road, Mitcham, on Wednesday, May 21.
The 20-year-old victim was walking to the Total Garage at around 10.15pm when he was approached by two men in a car. One got out and swung several punches at him. The attacker was joined by his accomplice and they forced the man to the ground, kicking and punching him repeatedly.
The victim managed to find his way home and discovered he was bleeding heavily from stab wounds to his back and legs. He was taken to St George's Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
Police say his condition is not life threatening and are appealing for witnesses to come forward. The man could only describe one of his attackers as a 20-year-old black man wearing a blue hooded top. He believes they were driving a light coloured car.
Anyone with information can contact the crime desk on 020 8649 3191.
