Police are hunting a man after a double stabbing which left a father and son seriously injured.

A 65-year-old man and his 37-year-old son were stabbed repeatedly in an attack in Finsbury Park on Christmas Eve.

The incident happened after an altercation between the driver and passenger of a black Smart car and the father and son who were in a van.

The argument began in Green Lanes before the father and son were stabbed "multiple times" in Hermitage Road and Vale Grove, police said.

Detectives today issued a blurred CCTV image of a man they wish to identify in connection with the attack at about 7.50pm.

Another 19-year-old man has been charged with grievous bodily harm since the alleged incident.

He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court and was remanded in custody.

Both alleged victims have been discharged from hospital.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information is asked to call Haringey CID on 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org.
