Two brothers have been jailed after a man was stabbed multiple times to his body and head in a fast-paced eight second attack near King’s Cross station.
Police were called following reports that a 27-year-old man had been attacked on Beaconsfield Street on September 15, 2025.
The man was found with a number of knife wounds to his body and head.
He was taken to hospital for treatment, where he was found to have life-changing injuries.
Graphic CCTV showed 30-year-old Reece Williams lunging at his unsuspecting victim.
The man was stabbed repeatedly within eight seconds, before he was left bleeding on the floor.
Reece then fled to Wharf Road where he was picked up in a car by his 27-year-old brother Darrell.
The pair drove home together and were later arrested on September 24 last year at their family home.
Reece, of Northdown Street, pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a knife at Wood Green Crown Court on November 11 last year.
He was sentenced to life with a minimum of 12 years in prison this week (November 4).
Darrell, of Gloucester Drive in Hackney, pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a knife at Wood Green Crown Court on July 30, 2026.
He was sentenced to a minimum of eight years in prison on Wednesday (November 4).
Detective Chief Inspector Sarb Kaur, whose team led the investigation, said:
“This was a violent and unprovoked attack, which left a man fighting for his life. Our officers responded quickly, identifying both brothers, establishing their roles and bringing them to justice.
“These sentences send a clear message: those who inflict serious violence on our streets will be pursued and held accountable.”
