Two men have been hospitalised and arrested following a stabbing incident on a residential street in Notting Hill yesterday evening (May 27). The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the pair, aged 27 and 30, remain in custody on suspicion of affray.

A long trail of blood was observed leading to a building on the street, according to witnesses. The London Ambulance Service added: "We were called at 6:47 PM on Wednesday 27 May to reports of a stabbing on Bomore Road, W11. We sent resources including an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer, and a clinical team manager. We also dispatched London’s Air Ambulance.
