Detectives Released Stabbing Images At Hyde Park

Mobile phone footage shows the victim being chased by the gang and slipping on the grass as he desperately tries to flee. He was then kicked, struck with poles and stabbed in the chest.

Detectives have released images of people of interest following a stabbing at Hyde Park on Tuesday.

Police were called to the park at 9pm following reports of an assault and numerous males brandishing machetes.

A woman filming the attack screams and swears: “He got stabbed. There’s a knife, there’s a knife! Oh my God, oh s***, oh God.”

A voice in the crowd, using slang for a stabbing, says: “He bored him! Oh s*** he bored him!”

On arrival, officers found a 17-year-old boy who had been stabbed. He was given immediate first aid and taken to a London hospital where he remains in a stable, non-life-threatening condition.

Met Police are on the hunt to identify those involved in the attack and have stepped up their presence in the park.

“The brazen violence that was witnessed by many people enjoying the sun in Hyde Park was both shocking and unacceptable,” said Detective Sergeant Alex Bingley.

“We urge anyone who knows or can identify the men in these pictures to come forward. No piece of information is too small.

“I want to reassure the public that we are committed to ensuring our parks remain a safe space for everyone to enjoy. We are doing all we can to track down the individuals involved and bring them to justice.”

Met Police confirmed a 17-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of affray in connection with the incident.
