This was a violent attack on a busy London bus and I am sure that there are witnesses to the incident who have not yet come forward. I urge those people to get in touch without delay.
Some may mistakenly believe that they will be respected if they carry a knife, but the reality is that in any conflict, the presence of a knife will up the ante and place everyone, including the knife carrier, in danger.
Forensics officers have scoured the bus while finger-tip searches by specialist officers have been carried out at the crime scene. Enquiries are ongoing to identify the suspects.
The injured man was taken by London Ambulance Service to an east London hospital where his condition is stable. A road closure was implemented to allow emergency services to access the scene. This has since been lifted.
