Detectives from Haringey are investigating after a man and woman were stabbed.
At 18:00hrs on Wednesday, 28 October, a 24-year-old man was sitting on a bench with his 21-year-old girlfriend in Downhills Park Road, N17. They were approached by two men, one of whom demanded the man’s phone.
The couple tried to move away, but both suspects produced knives and the male victim was then stabbed repeatedly in the back. He was treated by London Ambulance Service and taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
