Police disperse large crowd as boy, 17, stabbed in Highbury, north London

A teenager is in hospital with a stab wound after being attacked in north London on Monday night.

The 17-year-old was found in Corsica St, Highbury just before 10pm.

Police attended and took him to hospital. His condition is not life-threatening.

Officers had to disperse a large group who had gathered.

It is believed the victim was attacked in Highbury Fields before making his way to Corsica St. There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.

It followed days of bloodshed in London, which saw three teenagers killed.

He is the 16th teenager stabbed to death in the capital this year. A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder.
