A teenager has been charged with attempted murder after a young man was critically injured following a stabbing in north-west London.

The 16-year-old suspect, from Harrow, is to appear in custody at Willesden Magistrates' Court later today.

Police and paramedics were scrambled to the scene of the knife attack at Preston Park, in Brent on Tuesday afternoon.

A 21-year-old man was found collapsed in the park with stab wounds. He was taken to hospital in a critical but stable condition.

A teenager was also found in the park suffering from non-life-threatening stab wounds.

A section 60 order, allowing police special search powers, was granted for several wards in Brent until the early hours of Wednesday.

Anyone who witnessed the incident in Preston Park is asked to phone North West area CID quoting 4789/9JUL, tweet to @MetCC or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
