An image of a man wanted in connection to a stabbing has been released by police after a teen was seriously injured.

The unnamed 18-year-old man was rushed to hospital after being attacked in Westwood Hill, Lewisham, shortly after 7pm on Monday.

The alleged victim remains in a critical but stable condition.

On Friday night, the Metropolitan Police released an image of a man they wish to speak to in connection.

There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.

Detective inspector Spencer Thomas said: “We have released footage of a person we are keen to trace. The footage was captured in Kirkdale just before the incident.

"A young man was stabbed and seriously injured in daylight at a bus stop. I would urge anyone who witnessed this assault to contact us.

“I would also ask that anyone who was driving in the vicinity and has a dash cam to check the footage to see whether they captured something that could help our investigation. Any piece of information, whether you think it might be insignificant or not, could be vital."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting reference 6336/08AUG.

To remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
