A knife fiend repeatedly stabbed a mum in front of her young child.

Police are hunting the thug who attacked the 36-year-old mum from behind in Streatham Hill, south London, before running off.

The mum was rushed to hospital following the “horrific” attack on Monday afternoon.

She remains in hospital, but her injuries have been assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.

The child, who was in a pushchair, was not physically injured.

Police described the suspect, who did not speak as he stabbed the victim three times before running off, as a black man, around 6ft and wearing dark clothing.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a mother was stabbed in an unprovoked attack in Streatham Hill while she was with her child.

“Officers were called at 5.23pm on Monday December 30th to a report of a 36-year-old woman stabbed in Downton Avenue, Streatham Hill.

“The woman was taken to hospital. Her injuries have been assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.

Detectives from South Area CID are investigating.

The spokesman added: “Extensive enquiries, including forensic work and CCTV analysis, are ongoing.

“At this stage, officers retain an open mind as to any motive.

“There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
