A token white thug in an otherwise all-black gang – who struck a teenager over the head with an axe – is being hunted along with his fellow masked attackers for the brutal East London stabbing.
The 18 year-old victim was descending steps from Plaistow tube station, which connects Lettsom Walk to Libra Road (pictured) at 8:30pm on February 28 when an altercation broke out.
Newham detectives have confirmed the victim was stabbed in the stomach, back and left arm as well as being struck with the axe.
Witnesses are being sought who can identify the gang – made up of approximately ten black youths and a young white male – all aged around 17 years-old.
Their faces were covered with white bandanas and four of them rode mountain bikes.
The victim was taken to an East London hospital with non-life threatening, but potentially life changing injuries.
He remains in hospital in a stable condition.
No arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact the Serious Youth Violence Team on 020 7275 5839 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
