Hurley says she is praying these 'animals are caught before they maim, or even kill, someone else'.
Elizabeth Hurley has said her nephew lost more than four pints of blood after being repeatedly stabbed in a mob attack.
The actress branded the four men who stabbed her nephew, Miles Hurley, 21, on Thursday as “animals” and hoped they will be caught before they hurt or even kill someone.
In an Instagram post, she said: “My 21 year old nephew @mileshurley1 was brutally attacked by four men in London on Thursday night. He was repeatedly stabbed and lost more than four pints of blood.
“A policeman was patrolling close by and administered first aid until the ambulance arrived. The deepest wound just missed severing his spine.
“By some miracle no vital organs were damaged. We are praying that these animals are caught before they maim, or even kill, someone else. These are sad days.”
The message appears alongside a photograph of herself and Miles Hurley, who is a model.
My 21 year old nephew was repeatedly stabbed in a brutal attack in London on Thursday night. The police & hospital are being fantastic. Thank you for all your messages. It is an appalling time for him & our family. The police will be appealing for witnesses.
