Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenager suffered life-changing injuries in a stabbing attack in south-east London.
Metropolitan Police said the 16-year-old boy was with friends near Tesco Express in Bromley Road, Catford around 1.15pm on Wednesday, December 20 when he was attacked.
Officers and paramedics attended the scene and the boy was taken to hospital with stab wounds.
Police said his injuries were later assessed as life-changing.
Two 16-year-old boys were arrested nearby on suspicion of attempted murder and subsequently bailed.
Detective Constable Jessica Flood, from the local policing team, said: “We believe there would have been other children in the area who witnessed this awful attack, as well as several other people who may have seen what happened.
“It is important they come forward and tell us what they saw.
“We have heard from one witness who was on a route 136 bus which was passing the scene at the time. Were you also on that bus? Contact us if you saw anything suspicious.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 3337/20Dec.
Information can also be shared anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
