POLICE are appealing for witnesses to violent robbery in which the victim was stabbed twice by one of the assailants and robbed of a back full of personal possesions.
The 27-year-old male victim was walking along Meadway in Ilford on Friday May 21 at around 1:45am, near to the junction with Longbridge Road.
He was approached by two black men and robbed of his black hold-all. During the attack he suffered two stab wounds in his back.
The robbers then fled but the victim was unable to tell in which direction they went.
The stolen bag contained a number of personal items, including a pair of grey Everlast tracksuit bottoms, a navy blue polo shirt, a black washbag, and a wallet containing two debit cards, a Fitness First gym membership card, his UK driving licence, an Oyster card, and car keys for a Vauxhall Astra.
Anyone with any information about this incident is urged to contact DC Mikey Lai on 020 8345 2610.
