London — Police said Tuesday night that three people suspected of involvement in a stabbing attack on a journalist working for an Iranian news channel outside his London home had fled Britain. London's Metropolitan Police said Iran International journalist Pouria Zeraati sustained a leg injury when he was stabbed on Friday afternoon. 

Zeraati said he had been discharged from a hospital in the British capital on Saturday and was "residing in a safe place under the supervision of the Met Police" with his wife.

"The amount of your sympathy, kindness and love in past few days has been and is the greatest and best energy for my recovery process," Zeraati said in a social media post.
