Officers investigating a stabbing which left a man with a buttock wound have released details of four suspects.
Police were called to an address in Tiptree Crescent in Clayhall last Monday to find a 26-year-old man who had been stabbed in the buttock and slashed across the chest.
A 42-year-old woman also suffered cuts to her hands during the attack just after 9.30am.
Now police have said they are looking for a light-skinned black woman wearing a grey tracksuit, and three black men between 16 and 20, all around 6ft tall of slim build.
A spokesman for the Met Police said the three men – wearing white surgical masks – pushed their way into the address while the woman stayed outside.

Both victims were taken to east London hospitals where their injuries – which are not life-threatening – were treated.
