A 29-year-old London man is in critical condition after suffering multiple stab wounds, according to London police.

Emergency personnel were called to 117 Riverside Dr. on Tuesday at 12:07 a.m., in relation to a serious assault.

Officers say the man was located at the address with multiple stab wounds. He was transported to hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

The first suspect is described as a heavy-set male, about 5'6" tall, possiblly Hispanic, wearing shorts.

A second suspect is described as a black male, 30-35 years old with a thin goatee, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and pants.

They were last seen heading west on foot from 117 Riverside Dr.
