Police are urgently appealing to the public to help locate a man they would like to speak to following a violent attack which took place in Stratford, east London, during the summer.
On Monday, 19 August, at approximately 21:10hrs, police received multiple calls reporting an assault that had occurred on Elis Way, E20.
Officers attended and found a man who had been stabbed, up to 19 times in the head, abdomen and back, with a screwdriver.
The man, who is in his 30s, was treated in hospital for several weeks afterwards. He sustained life-changing injuries as a result of the attack.
