The Met Police had issued an appeal on Monday morning urging people to come forward with information that could help prevent violence, after a 32-year-old mother was among three carnival-goers who were stabbed on Sunday.
Five more people were stabbed and 230 were arrested on the closing day of Notting Hill Carnival. The Metropolitan Police said officers 'used their search powers to take weapons off the streets and prevent additional serious violence' after three people were stabbed at the event in west London on Sunday. The force also recovered three firearms on Monday - two at the carnival itself and one during a vehicle stop in Harrow involving people believed to be travelling to the event.
There were also nine arrests for possession of class A drugs and 40 for possession of class B drugs. A man wanted for attempted murder was also spotted at the carnival and arrested.
