Alexandra Richards20 March 2018

Police have released CCTV footage of a car they want to trace after Liz Hurley’s nephew was stabbed, days after the actress issued a plea for “safer streets”.

New CCTV shows a car with blacked out windows travelling at speed through the streets of south London.

Police said model Miles Hurley was chased "at high speed" by the occupants of the hatchback after a minor collision before Mr Hurley was stabbed on March 8.

Another man was also injured in the attack.

Police are now hunting the vehicle and its driver, who is described as white or mixed race, aged in his early to mid-20s, 6ft tall, of large build and with a shaved head and stubble. He was wearing a navy blue tracksuit.

His passengers are all described as young black men.

Officers are appealing to anyone who may have seen either of the vehicles being driven erratically on Wandsworth Road and in the Patmore Estate at 8.45 pm on the day of the attack.

They would also like to speak with any motorists who were in the area and who may have dashcam footage.

Detective Constable Simon Monga, from Wandsworth CID, said: "This was a violent and unnecessary attack. A minor traffic collision has resulted in two men being stabbed. It is only by sheer luck that their injuries are not more serious

"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of the initial incident and witnessed the altercation to contact police.

"If you have any information about the stabbing and the identity of the suspects, please call police without delay. It is vitally important that we trace these people."

Ms Hurley said on Sunday that her nephew “remains in great pain” but is "recovering slowly".

She issued a plea on Instagram demanding safer streets in the capital and describing her nephew's "shocking" wounds.

She wrote online: "My nephew was viciously stabbed last week.

"His wound is shocking, he remains in great pain and he can hardly move, but is slowly recovering.

“We need to make our streets safer and I want to be part of the movement to achieve that. I hope you will join me,” she said.
