A KNIFE attack left an Enfield teenager in hospital on Saturday after a fight between gangs in Albany Park.

The 16-year-old boy was stabbed in the hand and was taken to hospital – where he remains in a stable condition – after police were called to St Stephen's Road at about 3pm.

Detectives have arrested seven men aged between 15 and 25 in relation to the fight – six have been released on bail and one remains in custody.

Detective Sergeant Tony Killeen, of Enfield CID, said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have information about what happened. The incident began in St Stephens Road and continued into Albany Park.”

The attack comes just two weeks after hundreds of teenagers marched through Edmonton to protest against gun and knife crime and the postcode war that is blighting the east side of the borough.

Anyone with information should call DS Killeen on 0208 345 4334 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
