Police released this CCTV image of the two men they want to speak to

The CCTV shows two men wanted in connection with an attack outside the main entrance to Sainsbury’s in Tooting High Street, near Tooting Broadway underground station.

The 21-year-old was attacked by a group of four men armed with knives on August 4 at about 5pm, the Metropolitan Police has said.

The stabbed man was able to grab a knife from one of the attackers and throw it away before escaping on a tube to Tooting Bec, where he took shelter in a fast-food restaurant on Upper Tooting Road.

He was treated by paramedics from London Ambulance Service and taken to hospital, and was later discharged.

CCTV images of two men who police want to speak to have been released.

The first suspect is described as a large black man in his early 20s, wearing a black hooded jacket over a light coloured top, a dark blue baseball cap, black trousers and black trainers.

The second man was described as a large black man, also in his early 20s, wearing a dark blue shirt, dark coloured trousers and dark trainers.

Detective Constable Daniel Babbs, from Wandsworth CID, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the two men shown in the footage or the still released, or anyone who witnessed the incident.”

A 17-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man have been arrested and bailed in connection with the attack.
