Appeal Launched Following Haringey Stabbing
Detectives from Haringey CID are appealing for witnesses and information following a stabbing in Wood Green, Haringey.
On Thursday 2 December between 5.35pm and 5.50pm in High Road, the victim, a 16 year-old boy, was attacked by two black males who punched him and stabbed him several times in the chest.
It is believed that the victim had been trying to run away from the suspects when they attacked him outside Park Vue dental practice, on the opposite side of the road to Wood Green bus garage in High Road, North London.
The incident spilled onto the southbound lane of High Road, causing traffic to swerve.
London Ambulance Service attended and the victim was taken to the North Middlesex Hospital where he was treated for puncture wounds to his chest and discharged the following day.
The suspects are described as being two black males, believed to be aged around 17 years and dressed in dark clothing.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
Enquiries are ongoing.
Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Simon Jones of Haringey CID said: "The incident took place in rush hour and, being so near to the tube station and main road, the area was incredibly busy with commuters both on foot and in cars. People may remember it because the assault spilled out into the southbound lane of the High Road, causing cars to swerve. We believe there could be many witnesses out there who have not yet spoken to police and I urge them to come forward as their information could prove crucial to our investigation."
