Two men arrested following a stabbing in Epping have been re-bailed.

A 25-year-old man from Stamford Hill in north London and a 20-year-old man from Hackney were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in September.

The arrests came after a 31-year-old from London was stabbed in the chest in High Road, Epping at just after 4am on September 6.

He remained in critical condition for 7 days after undergoing surgery at the Royal London Hospital.

The men reported back to police this morning and were re-bailed until November 21.
