Police have said the motivation for the attack is not yet clear, but his occupation - coupled with recent threats towards UK-based Iranian journalists - meant the probe was being led by specialist counter-terrorism officers.
An Iranian television journalist who was stabbed outside his London home on Friday has been discharged from hospital. Pouria Zeraati, a 36-year-old presenter at London-based broadcaster Iran International, was stabbed in the leg outside his home in Wimbledon, south London, on 29 March. There have been no arrests, the Met said.

When asked about the motives behind the attack itself, he said: 'We can't say. The fact that counter-terrorism is leading the investigation probably speaks for itself.
