Woman rushed to hospital after stabbing in North London

A woman in her 20s suffered knife wounds, the Metropolitan Police said

A 28-year-old man has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act after a stabbing in Haringey yesterday afternoon (May 19). Emergency services attended Vincent Road, in the Wood Green area, shortly after 3.05pm amid reports of a woman being assaulted.

The victim, aged in her 20s, suffered suspected knife wounds and was taken to hospital by paramedics. Her injuries are not life-threatening or life-changing, the Metropolitan Police confirmed in a statement this morning.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder near the scene and subsequently taken to hospital, where he remains.

Though enquiries continue, police believe the stabbing was an isolated incident. Anyone with relevant information is urged to come forward to help with the ongoing investigation.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 3.10pm on Tuesday 19 May to reports of a stabbing on Moselle Avenue, Wood Green.

“We sent resources to the scene including ambulance crews, an advanced paramedic, an incident response officer and dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance. We treated two patients at the scene and took them to hospital.”

The stabbing came less than 12 hours after a man in his 20s was knifed on Wood Green High Road. Officers arrested a 37-year-old man at the scene on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 4890/19MAY. Anonymous reports can be made to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111 or the charity’s website.
