The Metropolitan Police have issued an urgent appeal for witnesses and information regarding a brutal stabbing that occurred during an attempted robbery in Plaistow. The harrowing incident unfolded at approximately 6.25pm on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, when a young man in his 20s fell victim to a violent attack by three males on Western Road, E13.

The victim displayed remarkable courage as he managed to evade one of the assailants who demanded his phone. However, his escape was short-lived as he was intercepted on Queens Road, at the junction with Rochester Avenue. It was at this point that the situation escalated, culminating in the suspects launching a violent assault that left the victim with five stab wounds.
