Teenagers attacked by group of 10 men at Abbey Wood pub

Two men and a boy were stabbed after being attacked by a group of 10 men at a pub in Abbey Wood just after 10pm on Monday.

Police were called to the pub, in Wilton Road, following reports that two men, aged 18 and 19, and a 14-year-old boy, had sustained knife wounds.

The injured trio were taken to hospital where they remain, but none are believed to have sustained life-threatening injuries.

A group of about 10 men wearing masks and gloves entered the pub and attacked the three victims.

The attackers are then believed to have left the scene, splitting up into three vehicles, one of which is thought to have been a silver Mitsubishi Shogun.

Detectives are currently reviewing CCTV from the scene.

No arrests have been made at this stage.

Detective Sergeant Robert Harris, leading the investigation, said: “This is a shocking incident that has understandably caused concern for local residents.

“I want to reassure the community that while we are still in the early stages of this investigation, I am confident that this is an isolated incident.

“A thorough investigation is well under way, and I would ask anyone who witnessed this incident or captured anything on a mobile phone or a dash-cam to please get in touch.

“I am really keen to hear from anyone who was in the pub at the time of this attack or may have witnessed the events that followed.

“You can also speak to Crimestoppers if you want to remain anonymous. The most important thing is that we get your information.”
