A 23-year-old man is fighting for his life after being stabbed in north-west London last night.

Police were called to Carnfield Avenue in Neasden shortly before 11pm on Saturday to reports of a stabbing.

Officers and paramedics scrambled to the scene and the young man was rushed to a central London hospital.

The victims remained in a critical condition on Sunday, Scotland Yard said in a statement.

A 29-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, while a 24-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Both remain in custody, the Metropolitan Police said.

The North West Command Unit are investigating the incident.

Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Early on Sunday morning, police also responded to a fatal stabbing in south east London.

A 30-year-old man died at the scene on Lordship Lane, East Dulwich.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 and quote CAD 8293/9Feb or tweet @MetCC.
