Liz Hurley rushes from the US to be with model nephew Miles after he was viciously stabbed ‘several times’
LIZ Hurley dashed back to Britain on Friday after learning her nephew had been stabbed repeatedly.
The star, 52, flew from the US as model Miles Hurley, 21, was fighting for life following the attack in a London street.
Model Miles was stabbed in a street in Nine Elms, South West London, at 8pm on Thursday following a row with a stranger.
It is understood that he was stabbed several times.
A source said: “His family feared the worst. Fortunately it seems the knife missed his vital organs.”
Liz is especially close to Miles, whose mum is her older sister Kate Curran, 54.
Miles has done shoots for fashion king Roberto Carvalli and Dolce & Gabbana.
His star aunt was pictured arriving at Heathrow around 9am on Friday, before visiting him.
Liz was in the US promoting her show The Royals.
She is known to be very fond of Miles and in 2013 proudly tweeted one of his early modelling shots, declaring “Here’s my handsome nephew”.
Blade rise in captial
By Matt Wilkinson
EIGHTY people were stabbed to death in London last year — with knife crime in the capital up 23 per cent since 2012.
The toll of teenagers murdered in the city also hit its highest in a decade, with 20 stabbed, five shot and one victim dying of multiple injuries.
A further 16 people have been stabbed to death in London since the start of this year — five of them in their teens.
But as knife crime has been rising, the use of stop and search by the police has fallen.
More than 80,000 people were stopped and searched in London ten years ago, but fewer than 20,000 in 2016-17. Cops secured convictions in only one in five knife crimes in that year.

He said: “I’m really close to my aunt and she’s very supportive of everything I do.”
Cops said last night: “There have been no arrests so far.”
A spokeswoman for Liz refused to comment.
