Two men are in hospital, one in a critical condition, after attacks at the festival, held in the streets of west London on Sunday and Monday.
The organisers of Notting Hill Carnival have said they “deplore all acts of violence” following a spate of stabbing incidents at the festival over the weekend.
The statement said: “Notting Hill Carnival has once again been a spectacular weekend of colour and sound, the culmination of a year’s long work, that results in this hugely important and unique cultural event. “Tragically, these incidents are all too common in our society. Last year the Office for National Statistics shows that 12,786 knife offences were carried out in the capital over the 12 months to the end of March, this sadly affects us as much as any community.
Susan Hall, the party’s 2024 London mayoral candidate, called for the event to be held in a different location, saying police “don’t want to be there”. A 19-year-old man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after he was stabbed in Ladbroke Grove shortly before 8pm.
