Detectives are appealing for people to come forward with dashcam or doorbell footage after a stabbing left a man fighting for his life in Brixton.
Following the incident on Acre Lane at around 02:10hrs on Saturday, 2 May, the 33-year-old was rushed to hospital in a life-threatening condition by the London Ambulance Service. Thankfully, due to the skill of medical professionals, he is now in a stable condition.
Since the incident, CID officers from the Met have worked at pace to identify those responsible and have recovered a black BMW 330E estate – similar to the one pictured.
From examining CCTV, detectives found this vehicle – which had the number plate FM21 UKW – was driven to Acre Lane at around 02:00hrs before making off at speed towards Clapham Park Road following the attack at 02:15hrs.
CCTV also captured what detectives believe are the three suspects.
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. Alternatively, those who wish to share information anonymously can contact independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their website.
