Police arrest man on suspicion of carrying out the attack, one of four stabbings on the first day of the London carnival

A man is fighting for his life following a stabbing at Notting Hill carnival.

He was rushed to hospital after emergency services were called to Wornington Road in the Kensington and Chelsea area at 4.25pm on Sunday.

Scotland Yard said a man had been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

The attack is one of four stabbings reported on the carnival’s first day, which is traditionally dedicated to children and families. Minutes later, officers were called to reports of another stabbing on Portobello Road, where one person was taken to hospital.

Less than an hour later, two more men were taken to hospital following a double stabbing on Ladbroke Grove.
