A 32-year-old woman is in a life-threatening condition after being stabbed at the Notting Hill Carnival, the Metropolitan Police has said.

The force says it is aware of two other people who have been stabbed during the west London festival - including a 29-year-old man and a 24-year-old man.

[…]

Issuing an update on Sunday night, the Met said 90 arrests have been made for a range of offences and "15 officers have been assaulted".

"Hundreds of thousands of people came to Notting Hill Carnival to enjoy a fantastic celebration," the Met said.

"Our officers have been on duty working to keep them safe as part of a very carefully planned policing operation.

"Regrettably, a minority came to commit crime and engage in violence."

The force said a section 60 order, which gives officers additional powers to search suspects, would be in place until 02:00 BST.
