A “massive rave” in Woodberry Down spilled into Seven Sisters Road last night, with two men ending up in hospital nursing stab wounds and multiple reports of a shooting.
Police and medics were called to Lordship Road at 12.15am following the knife attacks. A 23-year-old is in serious but stable condition and a second victim, in his early 20s, has discharged himself from hospital.
The stabbings were followed by reports of gunshots being heard in the area.
Katy Travis reported it on Twitter at 12.44am, telling police: “Just heard a gunshot near Keynsham House.”
Earlier, locals and a Woodberry Down councillor had alerted police to a rave at Savernake House.
