London - An Algerian man was stabbed repeatedly in an apparently racist attack in front of his wife early yesterday in London's West End. The couple were leaving a restaurant when the attack happened at 12.30 a.m.
Police said an argument involving racist language developed between the Algerian and a man on the street, when the Algerian was stabbed repeatedly in the head, neck and chest. He was "critical" in intensive care at a London hospital yesterday.
Police were searching for a black man seen running from the scene.
