POLICE ARE looking for a suspect after a 28 year old man was stabbed in Valentines Park on Perth Road in Ilford. The incident took place at around 4.30pm on Bank Holiday Monday (28th May).

The emergency services were called out to the incident and found the victim, who had been stabbed in the neck and back. The London Ambulance Service took him to an East London hospital, where it was established that fortunately his wounds were not life threatening.
