Dagenham stabbing: Man knifed during pub brawl in east London

A man was stabbed during a mass brawl at an east London pub on Friday night.

Police were called to The Cross Keys, Dagenham, shortly after 9pm and said "multiple people" had been assaulted.

Paramedics attended the scene alongside officers, before a man was rushed to hospital.

His injuries have been deemed not to be life threatening, Scotland Yard confirmed.

A large area was cordoned off as emergency services dealt with the situation.

A statement from Scotland Yard said: "Police were called at 2106hrs on Friday, 5 April to reports of a fight inside a public house at Crown Street, Dagenham.

"Officers, London Ambulance Service [LAS] and London’s Air Ambulance [HEMS] attended.

"At the scene a male was found suffering from stab wounds.

"The injured male was taken by LAS to an east London hospital. His injuries have been assessed as non life-threatening.

"A crime scene and cordons are in place.

"No arrests. Enquiries continue."

Officers from Barking and Dagenham Police tweeted last night to say they were "dealing with multiple people assaulted following a fight where persons have been stabbed".
