Police investigating after footballer stabbed following alleged clash with opposition

Metropolitan Police are investigating a reported stabbing that is believed to have occurred in the aftermath of a non-league match between Park View FC and Newbury Forest in north London.

Police were called to the incident on October 27 at the New River Sports Centre, where Park View play their home games, in Haringey at just after 10pm.

A man in his 30s was suffering with a stab wound which required medical assistance and he was taken to hospital before later being discharged.

Police report that the alleged attack is claimed to have involved members of the two opposing teams.


Park View had beaten Newbury Forest 5-0 in an Eastern Counties League Division One South match.

No arrests have been made but the investigation remains ongoing.

A statement from the Met Police to Mirror Football reads: "Police were called at approximately 22:20hrs on Wednesday, 27 October to reports of a man stabbed at the New River Sports Centre in White Hart Lane, N22.



"Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found a man, aged in his 30s, suffering a stab injury. He was taken to hospital for treatment before being discharged.

"It was reported that the man sustained his injury following an altercation between members of two football teams who had completed a match earlier that evening.

"No arrests; enquiries into the circumstances remain ongoing."

Mirror Football has contacted Essex FA for comment.
