Violent attacks mar end of carnival

The incident happened at the junction of Portnall Road and Harrow Road, Maida Vale, at about 9pm. No arrests have been made and a forensic team were at the scene, police said.

The end of the famous street carnival was marred by violence as a 17-year-old also suffered a suspected gunshot wound and a man was stabbed.

Police found the teenager with a wound to his shoulder after hearing shots fired near Blenheim Crescent in Notting Hill at around 7.30pm, Scotland Yard said. An arrest has been made in connection with the incident, police said.

The man, in his 20s, is in a stable condition following the stabbing in Westbourne Park Road. No arrests have been made.

Three people arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing in Ladbroke Grove on Sunday are still in police custody.

Another three people were arrested by officers from the Specialist Arms Unit on suspicion of possession of firearms at 3.20pm on Bayswater Road.

Their vehicle was identified by automatic number plate reader technology.

According to police estimates some 600,000 people attended Sunday's festivities.

Organisers said around 1.5 million people flocked to Notting Hill over the three days - roughly the same amount as last year.
