Police launch appeal after four stabbed in London pub

Detectives are appealing for witnesses after four men were injured in a stabbing incident at the Duke pub in London’s Walthamstow.

 

One man, aged 22, remains in a life-threatening condition.

 

Police were called to the pub at 8:16pm on Monday 13 February following reports of a stabbing involving a machete.

 

Three men with stab wounds were found in the pub, while the fourth was found with stab wounds in nearby Shernall Street.

 

The men, aged between 22 and 42, were taken to a hospital in east London, after officers from London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance were called to the scene.

 

Officers from Waltham Forest have launched an investigation to establish what happened and have appealed for the public’s help.

 

Detective inspector Grant Stevens, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are in the early stages of piecing together what happened last night and would like to hear from anyone who was inside the pub and witnessed the attack.

 

“Whilst news of this kind is concerning, I would like to reassure the community that we believe this was a targeted attack and there is nothing to suggest any wider risk to the public. Officers will remain in the area throughout the day and I would encourage anyone with concerns to speak with them.”

 

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation has been asked to call 101 quoting CAD 6988/13Feb.

 

To remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

 

A spokesperson for The Duke added: “We are assisting police with their enquiries in and around the business, and fully supporting our team. The pub remains closed and will reopen as soon as possible.”
