A copy of the security video of the incident which included knife attacks outside the Turkish Shop in Walthamstow High Street(Gazi International Supermarket) on Saturday evening has been released. Several young hoodies on bikes can be seen and a knife is used twice to stab two staff members' heads. Apparently, off camera, there were a whole load more of the gang (up to 15). There is no sound.
The link, to the Waltham Forest Guardian is here.
It goes without saying that if anyone can identify any of the people involved, the police would like to have that information.

OMG this is awful. I can't believe what some people are getting away with.
Who was it that claimed CCTV cameras are there to protect us?
Instead of spending money on cameras, maybe we should be paying for more bobbies on the street, better trained and better equipped ones.
And quite frankly, give them more powers to use their batons. A few clips around the ear from a big policeman would stop children growing up into monsters.
One of my best friends is ex-army, ex-semi professional fighter, 6'3" and one of the most well-meaning people I've ever met. The police wouldn't let him join because he's dyslexic and failed a multiple choice exam!
I'm so fed up of people being too scared to stand up for themselves - be it parents, police or pedestrians.
