Shocking video shows the moment a teenage gang shot and slashed at a 20-year-old man in broad daylight at a busy east London station.
Four teenagers - Elisandro Pinto Alves, Hanzell Greenaway, and Jaheim Thomas, all 18, and 19-year-old Marvin Edokpolo - have now been sentenced to a total of over 77 years for attempted murder.
Video released by British Transport Police (BTP) shows the moment they ambushed their victim while he tried to take shelter in a lift at Hackney Central station, leaving him fighting for his life.
A 64-year-old woman was in the lift at the time, and narrowly avoided being injured as the thugs opened fire and brandished knives in the “shocking” attack.
Another disturbing video clip found on one of the assailant’s phones shows the gang dancing and rapping about the attack, while brandishing a samurai-style sword.
Snaresbrook Crown Court heard how Edokpolo was on a train around 1.10pm on March 1 last year, when he became aware the victim was also on the train, heading into Hackney.
