Edmonton stabbings: Man knifed in 2016 fears he 'was targeted by same slasher'

A knife victim fears he may have been attacked by the person said to have carried out recent stabbings nearby.

Boxer Michael Grant, 35, was targeted in Edmonton, North London, where five people have been slashed since Saturday.

He said his 2016 attacker was a tall, skinny black man in a hoodie, like the police description from the recent stabbings.

He said: “That face won’t come out of my brain.

"Every time I go to Edmonton I look out for him.”
