A man is in a life-threatening condition in hospital after he was stabbed near a north London tube station.

The Metropolitan police were called to Camden Road, near Camden Town station, at 12.17am. Officers and paramedics attended the scene, which is in an area popular for its nightlife.

The force said: “A male was found with stab injuries. He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital. His condition has been assessed as life-threatening.”

No arrests have been made and a crime scene has been established in the area.

The stabbing came hours after a boy believed to be 15 years old was fatally stabbed in east London. Police were called to Somerford Grove in Hackney on Wednesday evening. The boy was given first aid by officers before paramedics and an air ambulance arrived at the scene, but he was pronounced dead at 9.49pm.

Another teenager, 16, who was found with stab injuries in nearby Shacklewell Road, was taken to hospital. Police said his injuries were not life-threatening. No arrests were made and the Met’s homicide and major crime command has been informed.
