Police are searching for the group of hooded thugs who stabbed the man several times
Police said the victim is recovering in a central London hospital and is in a ‘stable’ condition
The appalling attack is believed to have filmed by one of the assailants and the clip has since been shared across social media. In the video, the aggressor films the wounded victim and proudly gloats at his injuries for the camera.
In the distressing clip, a group of hooded thugs are seen chasing after the victim down Chapel Close, on bicycle and on foot. A cackling accomplice drives behind them in a car and films the attack.
The gang eventually catch up to the young man and the man filming stops the vehicle to apparently join them. The thugs can be seen savagely kicking, punching and stabbing the victim who lies on the ground.
In a second clip, the victim is seen lying injured face down on the pavement with a huge stain of his own blood on the wall next to him.
The man – who is filming the scene – gestures at the wounded victim and insults him and threatens his mother.
The victim can be heard quietly moaning in pain as the footage cuts to an end.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Officers were called at 15:26hrs on Tuesday, 11 June, to Chapel Close at the junction with Chancery Crescent, NW10.
