POLICE have launched an investigation after two men were stabbed outside a gay bar in South London.
The pair, in their 20s and 30s, were in Clapham High Street at around 10.15pm on Sunday when they were targeted.
They were treated in hospital following the attack outside the Two Brewers but have since been discharged. The Brewers describes itself as a "gay friendly cabaret bar and weekend dance club".
The Metropolitan Police are searching for the suspect behind the double stabbing which they are treating as a homophobic attack.
Drag performer Mary Mac, who was at the Two Brewers on Sunday, said on Twitter: "It's shocking and disgusting that in 2023 this is becoming frighteningly more frequent.
"The team at The Two Brewers were incredible in dealing with this and keeping us inside the venue safe, glad the victims have been discharged and hope they are with loved ones now to help."
