Pc Nigel Albuery, 34, whose injuries are not thought to be life threatening, was attacked in Bute Road, Waddon, south London, on Thursday night. He was part of a “proactive plain clothes patrol” which had stopped a group of young men.

“During this stop and search, one of the teenagers stabbed the officer several times,” said a Metropolitan Police spokesman.

London Ambulance Service attended and Pc Albuery, who joined the Met in 2002, was treated for stab wounds and taken to a south London hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

The other officer was not injured.
