Detectives are appealing for the victim of an assault to come forward and speak with them. At approximately 9pm on Thursday, 11 July, witnesses saw a man on a Route 3 bus – travelling in the direction of Crystal Palace – who appeared to be bleeding. The man got off the bus at Gipsy Hill where he told a member of the public that he had been stabbed and was heading to a friend’s house for help.
