A man in his 20s is battling for his life after a brutal stabbing in West Hampstead yesterday afternoon (January 29). Emergency crews found him with serious wounds to his neck and leg on Alvanley Gardens, near Finchley Road and Frognal station, at around 4:30pm.

Crime Scene Locked Down as Police Search for Attacker

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the victim remains in critical condition in hospital this morning. Detectives are actively investigating and working to identify the attacker, who fled the scene and remains at large.

A cordon is still in place on the residential street while officers carry out enquiries. Police are urging witnesses to come forward immediately. CCTV and witness footage showed multiple police cars and ambulances sealing off the area late last night.

London’s Air Ambulance Rushed to the Scene

Alongside paramedics, a team from London’s Air Ambulance attended the scene in a desperate bid to save the man’s life. The stabbing shocked locals, coming just days after another violent attack saw a 25-year-old man stabbed during a botched phone robbery in Islington.
