The attacks took place both in broad daylight and into the evening and the youngest victim was just 16 years old. All those attacked received non-fatal wounds, though the incidents are sure to have provoked much heartache and fear. As of midday today, on Saturday, only two arrests had been made following all the cases.

These two suspects were, in fact, two of the stabbing victims.

They were arrested after being taken to hospital.

The first incident took place yesterday in Bromley at around 2pm.

A man in his 20s was found with multiple stab wounds following a callout to emergency services.

He was rushed to hospital and an air ambulance was also seen overhead, according to MyLondon.

No arrests have been made in relation to this incident.

Later in the afternoon, police responded to reports of a double stabbing in Hackney.

The Metropolitan police said in a statement: “Police were called at around 4.50pm on Friday, June 17, to a fight in Daubeney Road, E5.

“Two males were taken to hospital suffering stab injuries. Neither is in a life-threatening condition.

“Both males have been arrested in connection with the incident.”

Following this, Hackney Police revealed the authorisation of a Section 60, granting officers increased powers to stop and search.

The remaining incidents all involved teenagers.

Two teens were rushed to hospital in the evening following a fight at Hampstead Heath.

These were aged 17 and 18. Both suffered stab injuries.

The Met confirmed for Express.co.uk that no arrests have been made in relation to this case.

Later still, a 16-year-old was taken to hospital for treatment after he was stabbed in Crystal Palace Parade.

A Section 60 order was authorised here, too, until 4am this morning. But again, no arrests have been made.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has suggested the cost of living crisis could lead to there being more crime in the capital.

Last year, London’s teenage murder toll hit a record high of 30.
