A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a woman was stabbed in north-west London and left with potentially life-changing injuries.

Police scrambled to Church Road, in Brent, at around 11.40am on Friday after reports of a stabbing.

A woman, thought to be aged 35, was found injured in the street and was rushed to hospital.

Her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening but are possibly life-changing, police said.

Shortly after, a man in his 30s was found with non-life-threatening injuries in a house nearby.

He was then arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

“The man and woman are believed to be known to each other,” police said. “Police are not looking for any other outstanding suspects.”

Enquiries continue.
