Mile End stabbing: Man, 23, fighting for his life after attack in east London

A man is fighting for his life after being stabbed in east London.

Police and paramedics were called to St Paul’s Way, in Mile End, at about 4.30pm on Sunday.

They found two men suffering stab injuries, with one of them - aged 23 - taken to hospital in a “life-threatening” condition.

The second victim, thought to be in his 20s or 30s, was also taken to hospital but his injuries were said to be “less serious”.

Cordons were in place at the scene on Sunday evening as officers investigated.

The road was closed in both directions, with the 309 bus service diverted.

No arrests have been made, with the Met asking anyone with information to call 101 quoting reference CAD 5291 of May 26.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
