A delivery driver was dragged from his moped and stabbed during a “brutal” attack in Manor Park.
The 23-year-old was on his Honda Pes in Ronnie Lane at around 6.30pm on Thursday, April 5 when he was approached by a group of teenagers.
The boys - described as white, around 15 years old and wearing dark clothing - then dragged him from his moped.
He suffered stab injuries to his body and leg, and both his moped and mobile phone were stolen.
