A teenager was stabbed in Lambeth last week, police have released CCTV to help identify the suspects.
Police were called to Brixton Road, near Oval tube station, on Monday, February 29 at 5:30pm to reports of an assault — the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance also attended.
A 17-year-old male was stabbed and taken to a south London hospital — he has since been discharged.
It is believed two male suspects were involved. Both are thought to have carried out another assault on a number of individuals in the Tennessee Chicken Shop, Brixton Road, just prior to this incident.
Police have issued CCTV stills and footage from inside the shop of two males they would like to speak to in connection with the two incidents.
Police are appealing for witnesses and anyone who can assist in identifying the suspects.
Both suspects are black males believed to be in their teens wearing black clothing and dark hooded jackets.
