The man stabbed in Eltham is believed to be in a life-threatening condition, with his sister Jade taking to Facebook to reveal that he was run over before being stabbed.
She said: ‘He was run over couple times and stabbed has a broken pelvis and a punctured lung.’
None of the other three victims of today’s stabbings are in a life-threatening condition and no arrests have yet been made.
Detective Sergeant Mark Johnson, from North West Area’s CID, said of the two Kilburn stabbings: ‘At this early stage in the investigation, we are keeping an open mind as to whether the two incidents are linked and there is a team of officers working around the clock who are carrying out patrols, CCTV footage enquiries and speaking to witnesses.
‘I would appeal to any witnesses or any motorists who may have dash cam footage of the incidents who have not yet come forward to contact police urgently. Any information, no matter how small, will greatly assist us in this investigation.
‘Officers are currently conducting extra reassurance patrols in the area, and anyone with any concerns can speak to officers on the street, go to a police station or call 101 or Crimestoppers.
‘If you are out and about in Kilburn High Street and the surrounding area I would ask you to remain vigilant, be aware of your surroundings and, if you see anything suspicious, call police immediately on 999.’
