Two young men have been rushed to hospital after a double stabbing on a busy road in north London.

Police and paramedics rushed to Adelaide Road, a short distance from Chalk Farm Tube station, just after 7am on Friday.

Two men, both believed to be aged in their early 20s, were found with stab injuries.

One man, who had been stabbed repeatedly, was found outside Constable House. A second man was found nearby suffering from a single stab injury.

A crime scene remains in place, police said. There have been no arrests.
