Counter-terrorism police are investigating the stabbing in south London on Friday afternoon.
An Iranian television journalist who was stabbed outside his London home on Friday has shared a defiant photo of himself in hospital - after a colleague at his broadcaster said threats towards its staff had 'escalated dramatically'. Pouria Zeraati, a presenter at London-based broadcaster Iran International, was stabbed in the leg outside his home in Wimbledon, south London, on Friday afternoon.
The fact that counter-terrorism is leading the investigation probably speaks for itself.' But he added that Mr Zeraati had received death threats before and that the threats against Iran International's staff had 'escalated dramatically' over time. Since 2022, several plots to either kidnap or kill British or UK-based individuals perceived as enemies of the Iranian regime have been disrupted by police, it is understood.
