Emergency services were called to reports of a stabbing in Kentish Town Road, near the junction with Prince of Wales Road, at 10.24pm on Monday (September 23).

A 13-year-old boy was taken by ambulance to hospital suffering stab injuries.

His condition has been assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing, Scotland Yard said.
