This is the shocking moment a teenage boy is repeatedly stabbed in a horrific attack by a hooded thug in a street.

The footage, filmed from a passing car, shows the 16-year-old victim fall to the ground as he is set upon by a man in a dark top.

Once on the ground, he is stabbed three times in a frenzied attack, before the hooded male and three others, one of whom appears to be holding a stick, walk away.

The victim, who also appears to be armed, then picks himself up.

Police said they were called at about 3.15pm on Saturday to Albert Road in South Norwood but were unable to find the victim.

A short while later officers were informed that he had taken himself to a south London hospital with a stab wound to the face and back.

The victim had been approached by a group of males and was stabbed before the group made off in a vehicle, police said.

A Met Police spokesman said: “He currently remains at hospital with injures not thought to be life threatening.

“Enquires are ongoing to locate the vehicle and those responsible for the stabbing.”

“No arrests have been made and enquires continue.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to contact police on 101 or via Twitter @MetCC
