A man has been arrested after a stabbing in Chingford.

Police were called to Hall Lane yesterday (July 25) at 3.24pm to reports of a knife attack.

The victim was found near the corner of Harbet Road and Shadbolt Avenue.

The 28-year-old man was treated at the scene before he was taken to hospital, where his injuries have been assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.

According to the Metropolitan Police, the suspect fled the scene before officers arrived.

But a 24-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and was taken to police custody, where he remains.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting CAD 4866/25July.
