Oliver Dowling, 32, was stabbed in the face, neck and stomach, his sister Freddy posted on Facebook.

He is now recovering after a four-hour surgery.

"Doctors are very happy with how he's come out the other side. A massive thank to the University of London Hospital for their tireless efforts in helping my brother out!!"

Freddie also posted that her brother survived because the attackers missed all his vital organs.

Oliver Dowling's girlfriend Marie Bondeville is also believed to have suffered injuries in the attack. Her status is unknown.

"Marie has been in surgery at another hospital but unfortunately we haven't been able to find out how she is due to not being immediate family," Freddie wrote.

A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman said they were working to confirm the reports.
