Police searching for culprit who stabbed a man 19 times with a screwdriver in east London.
The Metropolitan Police has released a photo of a man they are seeking to speak with in connection to a stabbing incident. The attack, which occurred in Mirabelle Gardens in Stratford, East London, involved a man being stabbed 19 times with a screwdriver. The victim, 36-year-old Tom Savage, sustained life-changing injuries and spent weeks in the hospital.

According to Detective Sergeant Simon Wheeler, the police are urgently appealing to the public for any information that may help in their investigation. They are determined to find the person responsible for this horrific assault and bring them to justice. However, despite tracking the attacker to Whitechapel, their trail has gone cold. This is why the police have released a photo of the suspect, hoping that someone may recognize him and come forward with information.

Speaking to the BBC last month, Tom recounted the terrifying attack. He described being approached by a man who asked if he lived in the area and then lifted his shirt to reveal what appeared to be a screwdriver. Tom considers himself lucky that the weapon was not a knife, but he still suffered severe injuries. He was unable to move after being knocked to the ground and believes he was stabbed in the spine, leaving him paralyzed.

Tom's recovery has been a long and difficult journey, with doctors estimating it may take up to two years. He is still afraid to leave his home, knowing that his attacker is still out there. In light of this, the police are determined to find the suspect and bring closure to Tom and his loved ones. They are asking anyone with information to come forward and help them in their search for justice.
