Liz Hurley’s model nephew is recovering after being stabbed in a London street.

The actress is reported to have dashed back from the US after Miles Hurley was repeatedly knifed in Battersea, south London.

The 21-year-old was attacked alongside another man in Nine Elms just before 9pm on Thursday after a row with a stranger.

Liz took to Twitter to share the heartbreaking news, thanking fans for their support in what she described as an “appalling time” for the family.

She wrote: “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.”

Miles, who is the son of her Liz’s sister Kate Curran, has modeled for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed two men were attacked by a group who got out of a vehicle and set upon them in Ascalon Street.

He added: “A 21-year-old man was discovered with stab wounds.

“Another man, also believed to be aged 21, was also found suffering from stab wounds.

“They were both taken by LAS to a south London hospital where their conditions are described as not life-threatening or life-changing.

“They are believed to have been attacked by a group of males who got out of a vehicle and assaulted them before fleeing the scene.”
