Iran International broadcaster Pouria Zeraati, 36, who was stabbed outside of his home by hooded men has vowed he will be back on TV soon, amid a global hunt for the suspects.
The Metropolitan Police says it is confident that three people were involved in the brutal strike on Pouria Zeraati, who works for the anti-government Iran International TV channel.
Bardia Afshin, a journalist at UK-based Iran International who works alongside knife victim Pouria Zeraati, said multiple plots against him and his colleagues had been thwarted.
