In the second, at 19:27 GMT on Thursday, a 20-year-old man was struck in the neck on Arnold Circus, about 200ft (60m) away from the first attack.
The Met Police said both victims were treated for their injuries in hospital.
The force added their wounds were not life-threatening or life-changing and they have since been discharged.
In a statement, it added investigators were urgently working to identify a suspect, and said "due to the nature and location of both incidents, they have been linked".
