Metropolitan Police officers were called to Harrow Road in Maida Hill around 7:30 pm in response to the incident. They discovered a man in his 40s with multiple stab wounds. Paramedics arrived at the scene and swiftly transported the injured man to the hospital.
Fortunately, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that the man’s wounds are not life-threatening. Eyewitnesses reported that a crime scene was established outside Sainsbury’s in the area. The vicinity around Maida Hill Market, located at the corner of Harrow Road, Elgin Avenue, and Fernhead Road, was also cordoned off by the police, causing inconvenience to local residents.
The Metropolitan Police is currently conducting ongoing inquiries into the incident, but no arrests have been made at this stage. Further information about the incident has been requested from the London Ambulance Service.
This incident follows a tragic stabbing in Enfield the previous day, where a man died after being attacked. Police have initiated a murder investigation and are examining whether the fatal incident resulted from a fight that erupted in Berkshire Gardens, Enfield.
Detective Chief Superintendent Caroline Haines, the local policing commander in north London, expressed her condolences and assured the community that efforts are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the man’s death. She emphasized that while this incident may raise concerns, there is no indication of a broader risk to public safety stemming from this specific incident in Palmers Green. The police will continue to remain present in the area as investigations progress.
