The youngest stabbing victim - aged just 13 - is in critical but stable condition after being knifed in a park plagued by warring gangs.

Police made five arrests after six teenagers were stabbed within 90 minutes of each other in a night of knife carnage across London.

On Thursday night a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old were taken to hospital with serious stab wounds.

Four of the six victims are in hospital with serious injuries after four separate attacks broke out in different parts of the city.

A male whose age is not known is being held over attempted murder and a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of conspiracy to commit GBH after the two 15-year-olds were stabbed in Bow, east London.

The Met Police said three 'juvenile' males have been arrested on suspicion of GBH after the 13-year-old boy was stabbed in Manor Park, east London.

No arrests have been made in connection with three other stabbing incidents across the capital last night.

They left a boy, 15, man, 18, and a man in his 40s with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Pictures show the bloodied aftermath of a stabbing in Mile End, which saw two seriously injured in a brutal attack in broad daylight.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: 'Two boys, aged 15, taken to hospital following stabbing in Grove Road, E3 remain in hospital in a serious but stable condition.

'The 16-year-old treated for minor injuries has now been arrested for conspiracy to commit GBH. Another male also remains in custody for attempted murder.'

Officers and paramedics were to the stabbing in Manor Park, east London, just before 7pm.

Police said: 'Three juvenile males arrested on suspicion of GBH with intent after 13-year-old boy stabbed in Gainsborough Avenue, E12 near Little Ilford Park. His condition is serious but stable.'

A 15-year-old boy found stabbed in Tower Hamlets, east London, remains in a 'stable condition' in hospital after emergency services were called at about 5pm.

An 18-year-old is being treated for injuries not thought to be life-threatening at a central London hospital.

Officers found him stabbed just after 7pm following reports of an assault in Ealing Broadway, west London.

A man in his 40s remains in hospital with injuries not believed to be 'life threatening or life-changing' after he was stabbed at about 8pm in Herne Hill, south London.

Night of violence: Six teenagers were rushed to hospital after a number of stabbings across London tonight

Last night's events came as London is amidst a violent crime crisis, with gun and knife attacks at their highest levels since 2010.

Fifty-five people have been murdered in the capital since January, with 13 people killed within two weeks last month.

Yesterday Tottenham Labour MP David Lammy described the London street violence as the 'worst I've ever seen it.'

He told the BBC's Today programme the violence was being driven by turf wars between drug gangs, adding that drugs were as 'prolific as ordering a pizza'.

He warned that the police had 'lost control of that drugs market' adding: 'I've been an MP now for 18 years and I'm afraid what we're seeing today is the worst I've ever seen it.'

Shocking video footage filmed by a witness in Mile End last night shows the aftermath of a stabbing with seriously injured two teenage boys.

Paramedics can be seen treating one party, who laid beneath a foil blanket as police officers appeared to restrain another person.

A spokesman for the force said one male was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and a second taken into custody of suspicion of GBH.

Witness Jack Hawke, 33, who lives further down the street, said he heard 'yelling' and went to his window, where he saw three boys, one on a bicycle, with their faces covered.

Another, Jack Hobbs, 30, walked past what appeared to be the same group on Grove Road and said: 'They were all wearing dark clothes with their hoodies sort of fastened up at the top so their heads were completely covered.

In Ealing a 55-year-old retailer who witnessed the aftermath of the suspected stabbing in Ealing Broadway told MailOnline: 'I was cycling home and I saw lots of police and ambulance and there were a load of youths hanging around.

'I asked them, 'It's not another stabbing, is it?' and they told me, 'Yeah, it is'.

He said: 'There was a young black boy - probably only a teenager - being stretchered away with an oxygen mask on.

He said: 'I really hope he pulls through, but he really didn't look good.

'I was just coming home from work, but it's just become normal now - I see it all the time.'

The man, who himself was a victim of gang crime when he was pushed into Grand Union Canal last year by youths, said London had become a 'warzone'.

'I wish I could afford to move out of London. In my day if someone said something about you, you'd have a fist fight and shake hands afterwards.

'Now these kids are shooting and stabbing people - it's gone too far.

'People need to take responsibility. And Sadiq Khan. He's the worst Mayor London's ever had.'

Horrified witnesses took to Twitter after witnessing the stabbing in east London.

One person said: 'Just walked past an incident on the corner of Roman Road near Mile End. Young boy, looked to be no younger than 15.'

And another wrote: 'There's been a stabbing at roman road, just walked past the horrific sight. This is a very friendly neighbourhood yet something as terrible as this happened, stay vigilant and cautious when you're out and about.'

While one woman said: 'Walked past an incident on Roman Road. These are just kids. They have their whole lives ahead of them.'

A spokesman for London Ambulance Service said: 'We sent multiple resources to the scene including ambulance crews, an incident response officer and an advanced paramedic, with the first of our medics arriving in just over six minutes. London's Air Ambulance was also dispatched.

'We treated three patients at the scene, and have taken two to hospital as a priority. We remain at the scene.'

Stabbings in England and Wales are at their highest levels since 2010/11 and the escalating violence has been worst in London, with 13 people killed within two weeks last month.

On Tuesday, 16-year-old Amaan Shakoor became the youngest murder victim in London so far this year after he was shot dead on Monday in Walthamstow.

His death came after that of Tanesha Melbourne, 17, who was gunned down around 30 minutes earlier just three miles away in Tottenham. Both were apparently casualties of gang violence.

Two men including teenager Israel Ogunsola died in another night of bloodshed last night.

PROTEST IN HACKNEY TO CALL FOR AN END TO VIOLENCE A demonstration in Hackney after the fatal stabbing of Israel Ogunsola Protesters and community leaders gathered in east London to call for an end to a recent spate of gang violence in which several teenagers died. Crowds gathered at Hackney Central station on Thursday, close to where Israel Ogunsola, 18, was stabbed to death on Wednesday evening. Residents of all ages huddled round the station entrance before locking fists in a wide circle at a pedestrian shopping street nearby in solidarity for those killed. Protest organisers Guiding A New Generation – commonly known as G.A.N.G – asked Hackney residents to share their stories and plead for an end to the killings over a communal megaphone. G.A.N.G activist Boogz, 40, said the group and others like it were the 'answer' to stopping further attacks. He said: 'We are trying to guide these children to let them know that their life is not going in the right direction. 'I want to say to them this is not the life. 'All the music that you listen to which glorifies this kind of thing, all the money that they see, all the cars that they see people driving, they are being sold a lie, they are being sold a false narrative – and we are here to change that narrative for them.' Protesters and community leaders gathered in east London to call for an end to a recent spate of gang violence in which several teenagers died Residents of all ages huddled round the station entrance before locking fists in a wide circle at a pedestrian shopping street nearby in solidarity for those killed One speaker, who addressed the crowd under the name Scripture, said he had seen people being killed at close hand. 'It's not a pretty sight,' he said. 'You know what, it's not a computer game. You're not gonna come back bruv. 'These youths who are doing damage to each other are not coming back, and they're not learning their lesson neither.' Impassioned demonstrators from local churches and community groups called for unity and chanted 'G.A.NG! A new generation!' before marching to spread their message in nearby housing estates. Hackney Liberal Democrat mayoral candidate Pauline Pearce, 52, who was among the attendees, said the recent string of stabbings and shootings were partly a result of young people feeling 'disenfranchised' by their environments. She said: 'A lot of the children feel disenfranchised, they don't feel they belong, they haven't really got a meaning – they don't feel that they have that connection to society, so a lot of things go wrong for them and sadly this is the sort of retaliation that comes.'
