An atrocious day of violence on the streets of London has seen four people stabbed and two others slashed - in five separate incidents.

As knife crime continues to spiral out of control, crime scenes have been set up in Hounslow, Tooting , Barking, Blackheath and Tottenham .

In one of the attacks, a teenager was slashed in the face in North London just metres from a police station.

The Metropolitan Police say a boy, believed to be aged 17, received a slash wound to his face at about 6.05pm on High Road, Tottenham.

The attack is said by police to have taken place by a Betfred shop.

Blood splatters were being cleaned from the pavement outside a taxi office opposite Tottenham Police Station, around 160 metres down the road, on Tuesday evening.

Cordons have been set up at both locations.

An officer at the scene said a man had received facial injuries after "an altercation between two young groups," and that the two cordons were linked.

The boy was treated at the scene by London Ambulance Service paramedics, who assessed the injury to be non life-threatening, and taken to an East London hospital.

No arrests have been made.

Another teenager received multiple stab wounds in South East London earlier on Tuesday.

A male, believed to be aged 18, was taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening after the incident in Thyme Close, Blackheath, at around 3.24pm.

And a 17-year-old boy was stabbed several times in Waterside Close, Barking, East London just before 7pm.

He was taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening, police said. No arrests have yet been made in relation to this stabbing.

Officers are also in High Street, Tooting after an 18-year-old man was stabbed just after 9pm.

He’s been taken to hospital and his condition isn't yet known. Again no arrests have been made.

The other incident was in Beaversfield Park, in Hounslow .

A 26-year-old man is reported to have been stabbed multiple times.

He was attacked just before 4.30pm and was taken to a Central London hospital.

His condition isn't currently known but one person was arrested on suspicion of GBH and remains in custody.

Shortly after 5pm, police received a second call to Rosemary Avenue, which is yards from the park, where a 20-year-old was discovered with a slash wound.

The Met Police say a Section 60 order, which gives them increased stop and search powers, is in place across Hounslow tonight (Tuesday, March 26).
