Eltham stabbing: Police hunt teen boy as 17-year-old left fighting for life after stabbing in south east London

Police are hunting a teenage boy after a 17-year-old was left fighting for life following a stabbing in south-east London earlier this week.

Scotland Yard has released an image of 18-year-old suspect Jordan Duignan as it continues to investigate the stabbing in Briset Road, Eltham on Thursday.

Officers and London’s Air Ambulance were called to the scene in Greenwich at about 10.30pm. The victim had multiple stab wounds.

He remained in a critical but stable condition in hospital on Saturday.

There have been no arrests, but the Met said: “Police would like to speak to Jordan Duignan, 18, in connection with this incident.”

It follows a spate of violence in the capital, including a week of bloodshed from October 31 when there were five stab murders.

Earlier this week London's murder rate hit a grim new milestone, with the number of deaths matching the total for the whole of 2017 on Wednesday.

Anyone who sees Duignan should call 999, quoting CAD 8027/November 15. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
