A MAN was attacked by four men with a baseball bat and knife in Cricklewood at the weekend.
The victim, in his late twenties, was assaulted by the men at around 2am on Sunday, February 27, in Cricklewood Broadway.
The suspects hit him with the bat and what is believed to have been a machete before driving off in a silver hatch-back vehicle, which police have suggested was a Mercedes A Class.
The victim is being treated in hospital after sustaining a large open wound to the back of his head, a fractured finger, cuts and bruises and a partially severed thumb.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Detective Sergeant Quigley of Barnet police said: “This was a violent attack that has left a young man recovering from serious injuries.
“Any person who witnessed the assault can be assured that police will treat the information they provide with discretion.”
