Commuter Punched, Stabbed And Robbed At DLR Station

Police hunting two vicious muggers after a lone man was stabbed and robbed at West India Quay Docklands Light Railway station are hunting these suspects.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released the images as they continue to attempt to identify the duo with the assistance of the public.

At around 1.50pm on Tuesday, August 3 the victim was approached by two men at the station. 

They engaged in a brief conversation before one of the men pulled out a flick knife, demanding his belongings.

He punched the victim in the head and stabbed in him in his upper arm.

They took the victim’s hat and bag and when he refused to give them his jacket, one of the men stabbed him again in his thigh. 

The men then left the station.

The victim was taken to hospital for treatment, thankfully his injuries were not life-threatening or life-changing.

Officers believe the men in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.
