Shocking moment Somali knife-wielding thugs attack three men outside a fast food restaurant
Victim left with gashes across arm and head
COPS have released video footage of the horrific moment three men were attacked by thugs armed with knives outside a fast food store in London.
Officers were called at 7.41pm on July 25 to reports of a 21-year-old man being assaulted in Bow Road, Tower Hamlets.
A fight broke out when four black men, described as being of Somali origin and armed with knives attacked three Asian men outside the Original Taste Fast Food store.
One of the victims was slashed on his left upper arm and suffered a cut across his head.
He was taken to an east London hospital where he was treated and later discharged.
CCTV outside the mini-supermarket captured the moment when one of the suspects was seen to attack the men.
After the fight, the suspects were seen fleeing down Tomlins Grove.
The four suspects are described as being black. One wore a dark grey hooded jumper and a black puffa-style jacket while another wore dark clothing, with his hood up with a white drawstring and white stitching on his jumper.
A third suspect was wearing a blue/grey tracksuit with his hood up and white writing across his chest. He wore black trainers and was seen on camera with a knife in his hand.
The final man, who was not caught clearly in the footage, was wearing a white hooded jacket with blue and white stripes, shorts and black trainers.
Cops are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the men or who witnessed the assault and ask that they contact officers.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
