A 37-year-old man remains in a serious condition after he was stabbed at an awards ceremony in London celebrating the UK grime scene, while police search for his attacker.
Police were called to the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, which hosted the fourth annual GRM Daily Rated Awards, shortly after 9pm on Wednesday following reports of a stabbing.
A man was taken to a west London hospital by the London ambulance service after being found suffering from multiple stab wounds on Queen Caroline Street, opposite Hammersmith station.
No arrests have been made and enquiries continue.
A spokesman for the Eventim Apollo told the BBC: "During an event at the Eventim Apollo, an incident occurred where a male was seriously assaulted.
“The individual received immediate medical care on site and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
“The matter is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, and we are assisting them with their enquiries.”
The comedian Michael Dapaah, producer Steel Banglez and rapper Not3s were among those presented with awards at this year’s ceremony, while grime pioneer D Double E was honoured with the legacy award.
Other high-profile attendees at the event included the DJ Tim Westwood, TV presenter Maya Jama and England footballer Jesse Lingard.
In 2016 two men were stabbed and robbed as they left the Roundhouse in Camden, north London, following that year’s GRM awards ceremony.
