Police officers are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man following a stabbing in Walthamstow.

At around 4.45pm on Wednesday, 22nd March, a man in his 20s was attacked by a group of around six people on North Countess Road.

He was taken to hospital with injuries, including a stab wound. His condition was later assessed as not life-threatening.

Detectives have carried out a number of enquiries, and are now asking for the public’s help to identify a man seen on CCTV in the area at around the time the attack happened.

Anyone who can help the investigation is asked to call 101 quoting reference CAD 5343/17Mar. To remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
