A 32-year-old woman remains in a critical condition after three stabbings on Sunday.
The Metropolitan Police has urged the public to come forward if they can help prevent any further violence at this year's Notting Hill Carnival. The force said the annual event in West London celebrating Caribbean culture was 'marred by unacceptable violence' on Sunday after three people were stabbed, only 'narrowly avoiding a fatality'.
'Carnival is a community event and the vast majority of people come to celebrate, to dance, to enjoy music and have a fantastic experience. 'It is the responsibility of all who value this event, who want to see it as the celebration it should be, to speak out and speak up about the violence that continues to overshadow it.
