Elizabeth Hurley has asked fans and followers to spread the information about the men who stabbed her nephew, Miles, after the Metropolitan Police released images of the car they are tracing.

Miles Hurley, 21, was targeted by a gang in a "brutal attack" earlier this month, and the four assailants managed to get away.

The actress is urging the public to "find these vicious knifemen and make our streets safer" as the Metropolitan Police release imagery of the car.

She said her nephew and his friend were driving a beige Fiat 500 on Wandsworth Road, before getting into a verbal altercation with the occupants of another car after a minor collision.

This lead to a high-speed chase by the black car with blacked out windows pictured above.

Ms Hurley claimed the cars stopped, the assailants attempted to "kidnap" her nephew by and bundling him into the boot of their car, stabbed Mr Hurley and his friend and drove off.
