Terrifying Ladbroke Grove Stabbing as Four Men Launch Brutal Attack in Shop
Man Hospitalised With 14 Stab Wounds
Police rushed to a convenience shop in Ladbroke Grove, W10 at 7.20pm on Friday, 13 November after the London Ambulance Service reported a stabbing.
Officers found a 28-year-old man suffering multiple stab wounds. He was rushed to hospital and is now stable, receiving treatment for 14 wounds.
Four Suspects Flee Scene in Black Saloon
Detectives from Central West CID revealed the victim was ambushed the moment he entered the store. Four men, believed to have waited in a nearby car, charged inside and stabbed him.
They fled the scene heading north along Ladbroke Grove in a black saloon vehicle. So far, no arrests have been made.
Police Appeal for Witnesses and CCTV Help
“This was a shocking and brazen attack which took place in front of horrified staff. We are releasing CCTV images of the suspects,” said DC Emily Martin.
“Although their faces are not visible, we hope someone recognises their clothing. We are also appealing to a man who left the shop just as the suspects entered, and returned shortly after they left, to come forward.”
