TWO teenagers were stabbed following a running fight between young men at the Parliament Hill Lido yesterday evening (Tuesday) afternoon.

Police say they were called at 5.20pm to find a 16-year-old boy had been stabbed in the abdomen, and a 19-year-old man stabbed in the buttocks.

Both were treated by paramedics at the scene, but the 16-year-old treated as a priority. London ambulance service sent a responder car and two ambulance crew to the scene.

Both were taken to hospital and released hours later.

Julia Granning, 27, a regular user of the Lido said: “I saw police bring about six or seven young men out. One had a stab wound but he didn't look in too much pain, he was still talking animatedly.”

Other users of the lido said there had been verbal arguments over the course of the afternoon, which became more heated as the day went on.

Police say a man has been arrested on suspicion of assault and is being questionned.

No one has been charged over the incident.
