Three men were stabbed and police officers were assaulted
in a violent conclusion to the Notting Hill Carnival last night.
According to the Metro, more than 260 people were
arrested over the course of the two-day annual street party, mostly for
drug-related offences and public disorder.
But 15 were arrested for having concealed of offensive
weapons, including two machine guns and a handgun.
One man has been arrested in connection with the Southam Street incident. Police say none of the stabbings resulted in death and at least two of the three incidents were gang related.
Two police officers were assaulted on the corner of Lancaster Road and St Luke’s Road around 3pm yesterday afternoon. A 33-year-old male police officer was taken to hospital after being knocked unconscious in the attack, and a 35-year-old female officer was also injured but was released from hospital later in the evening.
