New Pictures Man in hospital after stabbing near Kew Gardens

A man was stabbed with an 'enormous knife' in Kew in what locals described as an attempted car theft this morning. 

The victim, who is in his 50s, was knifed near Kew Gardens Underground station in the upscale London suburb just before 8am this morning. 

Witnesses said the man was attacked on the way to his car after buying a coffee, leaving the street covered in blood.  

The man was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition after the stabbing, police said.

One shop owner said: 'The chap had bought a coffee and he walked around the corner, then someone heard screaming and he came stumbling back just past our shop and into the coffee shop. 

'The police lifted a car and took a car away. 

'It doesn't seem obvious for something like this to happen at eight in the morning in Kew Gardens. It just looks like an opportunist who has gone for the car. ' 

Staff at the coffee shop helped the victim and called an ambulance after the attack, witnesses said.  

Another witness said 'it looked like they were trying to steal his car'.  

A local resident told My London that there was a 'kitchen knife in the middle of the road and blood'. 

Yet another witness said: 'Horrific stabbing this morning outside Torellis [coffee shop] - thoughts with the victim.
