A young man has been left suffering from a serious head injury following a fight in Tooting High Street.

At around 4pm yesterday the eight young black men and a white youth began a fight in Superdrug on Tooting High Street.

As staff tried to move the young men out of the store one of them, a 21-year-old, was struck over the head with a blunt instrument which fractured his skull.

The young men then ran off towards Mitcham Lane at the junction with Tooting High Street.

They were all wearing dark coloured hooded tops and tracksuit trousers.

The victim is now in a stable condition in a south London hospital.
