Three men are in life-threatening conditions in hospital after three stabbings in the capital in the space of just 90 minutes.
The three separate incidents occurred on Sunday night with a man in his 30s suffering stab wounds after officers were called to a fight on New North Road, Ilford, at 5.44pm on Sunday. London Ambulance Service attended and took the man to hospital, where police said he remains in a life-threatening condition.
Officers have arrested a man on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and he is in custody on Monday morning.
The incident came just half-an-hour after another man, who is believed to be a teenager, was stabbed in Hackney.
Police said they were called to Brooke Road in East London at 5.15pm and the man has been taken to hospital where he is in a life-threatening condition.
