A TEENAGER miraculously survived a violent knife attack where he was surrounded by a gang and stabbed five times in the chest.
He was taken to hospital by emergency helicopter as paramedics thought his horrific injuries were life threatening.
Around eight boys and girls aged 15 - 18 attacked the terrified teenager in the early hours of the morning on Sunday February 1.
The 18-year-old had just been dropped off in Weston Road, Dagenham, by his friend when the group of youths confronted him.
His friend, a 17-year-old from Romford, bravely tried to intervene and help the victim but was also attacked by the gang.
Police and paramedics were called to the stabbing at around 1.15am and the victim was taken to Royal London hospital.
