Clapham High Street: Two men stabbed in homophobic attack outside nightclub
Police are investigating after two men were stabbed in what is being treated as a homophobic attack on Clapham High Street in London.
The incident took place at 10:15pm on Sunday, 13 August as the two men, aged in their 20s and 30s, stood outside a nightclub.
They were approached by a man who attacked them with a knife before running away, police confirmed in a statement. Detective Inspector Gary Castle, of the Central South Command Unit, said: “We are acutely aware of the shock this attack will cause members of the LGBT+ community and want to reassure people that an urgent investigation is ongoing to locate the person responsible. “We recently announced the reinstatement of LGBT+ community liaison officers for each of our 12 BCUs in London to support and advise on investigations where homophobia is a motive, and to ensure the community has a dedicated point of contact to address any concerns they may have.” This is a breaking story.
