A stabbing incident outside the Two Brewers nightclub in Clapham High Street has left the local community shocked and devastated. The victims, one in their 20s and the other in their 30s, were standing outside the gay bar and nightclub on Sunday night when they were attacked by a man. Fortunately, they were treated at the hospital and have since been discharged.
The Metropolitan Police are treating the attack as homophobic and are currently searching for the suspect. Baga Chipz, a performer at the Two Brewers and a star of Drag Race UK, expressed her shock and anger at the incident. She emphasized that LGBTQ+ spaces like the Two Brewers should be safe havens for people to have fun and be themselves.
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, condemned the attack as abhorrent and expressed relief that the victims are out of the hospital. He pledged his support to the LGBTQI+ community and vowed to do everything in his power to end hate crimes in the capital. The mayor's team, along with the Metropolitan Police, will be working closely with the LGBTQ+ Venues Forum to address the issue.
