Chaos erupted at around 8.10pm on Saturday, 1 August, at the junction of Wolverton Gardens and Hammersmith Road in Hammersmith. A 30-year-old man became involved in a violent altercation with two suspects.
The victim arrived in a vehicle believed to be carrying the two suspects. After stepping out, he entered a different parked car opposite, followed closely by one of the suspects. An intense fight then broke out.
The first suspect was pushed from the second vehicle, which then sped off with the victim inside, spilling a large sum of cash onto the road. The driver reversed towards the first suspect, who narrowly avoided being hit before the vehicle came to a stop.
The victim exited the car, only to be attacked by both suspects—one of whom had remained in the initial vehicle—resulting in multiple stab wounds.
Both suspects quickly returned to their vehicle parked on Wolverton Gardens and fled the scene, driving the wrong way down the one-way street.
The victim managed to get to hospital by himself and was later discharged.
The Central West Command Unit is investigating the incident and has released images of the two men they wish to question.
Detective Constable Emily Martin said: “While the images are not the clearest, someone will have seen this dramatic incident unfold. The victim was incredibly lucky his injuries were not worse. If you recognise these men or were near the scene, please get in touch immediately.”
Anyone with information, videos, or photos is urged to call police on 101, quoting reference CAD 7870/1 Aug.
