The police are asking for help from people who live in South London for footage that they believe can help with their investigation
The Metropolitan Police are looking for ‘three suspects’ after a man was left fighting for his life after being stabbed in South London.
On Saturday, May 2, a 33-year-old man was found with life-threatening injuries after being stabbed on Acre Lane just after 2am. Police reviewed CCTV and identified a BMW, registered FM21 UKW, which was driven to Acre Lane at 2am before speeding off towards Clapham Park Road at 2:15am.
After being taken to the hospital, the man has now returned to a stable condition.
The CCTV also captured who police believe to be three suspects. They also identified the car being driven as a black BMW 330E estate. The stabbing happened on the same morning that four people were shot on Coldharbour Lane, killing a 25-year-old man.
Detective Sergeant Daniel Beek, who is leading the investigation, said: “This brutal attack almost claimed the life of a young man. My team and I are determined to find those responsible and urge anyone with information to contact us.
“The incident took place in an incredibly busy area. There were cars on the road – which hopefully means relevant dashcam footage – and we believe residents may have doorbell cameras pointing towards the street.
“If you were in or live in Acre Lane, Clapham Park Road, or the surrounding areas of Kings Avenue, please do get in touch via 101, or share footage directly through our public portal. No piece of information is too small.”
Anyone with information can contact the Met on 101, quoting 907/2MAY.
