Police have launched an appeal for information after a 24-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach, back and neck after refusing to hand over his phone to two men in Kilburn on Friday.
The “vicious” assault- which left the victim requiring extensive surgery- took place at around 11:35 pm in Kilburn High Road after the victim made his way by bus from Lisson Grove in Marylebone.
As the victim walked outside number 230 Kilburn High road, two men-described as being black and in their twenties- approached the victim and blocked his path in both directions.
The man standing in front of him demanded: “Give me your phone or you will get stabbed.”
After the victim did not hand his phone over, the suspect standing behind him stabbed him in the stomach, back and neck.
