Police are investigating after a man was stabbed in a newsagents.
Two men chased a 23-year-old man into the shop before stabbing him in the torso.
The incident occurred on Saturday September 23, at around 5.30am at a newsagents on Grays Inn Road.
The victim was also hit with a glass tube.
He was treated for a broken rib and laceration to his lung at an east London hospital, and is now recovering from his injuries.
He had reportedly been acting as a peacemaker after an argument broke out on the street.
Officers have released images of the two men they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.
Detective Constable Joe Marston, of the Met’s Central North CID, said: “The victim sustained serious injuries in what was a needless and incredibly violent attack.
“We would urge anyone who recognises these men to contact police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with any information call police on 101.
