Met Police Detectives continue to appeal for information and urge the public to stay vigilant following a series of stabbings in the Edmonton area over the weekend.

A spokesperson for the Met confirmed that urgent enquiries are underway to trace the single male suspect who is described as a black man, approximately 6ft 3ins tall, of skinny build and wearing dark clothing, possibly a hooded top.

The spokesperson also confirmed that there is a lot of police activity underway to catch the suspect and that ‘extra resources’ have been called upon and are on the streets working to keep the public safe and catch the individual responsible.

Police confirmed that the first stabbing took place at 19:02hrs on Saturday, 30 March at Aberdeen Road, N18 following reports of an assault. London Ambulance Service also attended. The victim, aged 45, had sustained a stab wound to her back after being attacked by the man. She has been taken to an east London hospital where she remains in a critical condition.

The second incident took place four hours later at approximately 00:15hrs on Sunday, 31 March to reports of a male suffering stab injuries in Park Avenue, N18. Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and the male victim aged 52, was taken to an east London hospital for treatment of stab injuries. His condition is not life threatening.

The third incident took place on Sunday, 31 March at 03:55 hours to Seven Sisters tube station to reports of a man stabbed. A 23-year-old man suffered stab injuries. He remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition. Initial enquiries have established that the man may have sustained his injuries in Silver Street, Edmonton.

The last incident took place at 09:43 hours in Brettenham Road, N18. Officers attended and found a man, aged 29, with a stab injury to the back. He has also been taken to hospital for an assessment of his injury. His injuries are not life threatening but potentially life-changing.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of GBH – both remain in custody.

The first man was arrested in Fore Street, N9 at 10:53hrs on Sunday, 31 March. The second man, believed aged in his 40s, was arrested at a residential address in Edmonton at around 19:00hrs on Sunday, 31 March.

A/DCI Stuart Smillie from North Area Command said: 

“The four stabbing related incidents are being treated as potentially linked. The four victims are from different backgrounds and appear to have been selected at random due to them being alone and vulnerable. There is nothing to suggest this incident is terror related.

“We are working on the hypothesis that the single male suspect is acting alone and mental health issues may be a factor. All of the people he has targeted have been walking alone and the suspect has approached from behind without warning. The motive from the stabbing appears to be solely to inflict harm. Early accounts suggest none of the victims were robbed or engaged in conversation before they were attacked.

“My advice to the public in the area where these incidents took place stay vigilant, beware of your surroundings and call 999 if you see anyone matching the suspect’s description behaving suspiciously.

“His description has been circulated to all officers in North Area who are carrying out patrols, CCTV footage enquiries and policing busy areas around where the incidents took place, particularly where he was last seen where police arrived four minutes after the call to police was made.”

“We are doing everything we can to identify & apprehend the suspect behind these cowardly & senseless attacks. A large additional police response is now working throughout the #Edmonton area to help keep the public safe. Our advice is carry on but remain vigilant.” A/DCI Smillie pic.twitter.com/uLnVnpc3MV

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
