A chaotic scene unfolded during a sixteenth birthday party in east London when a mob of 50 to 60 youths gatecrashed the event, resulting in two individuals sustaining knife injuries. The incident, which occurred around 9pm, escalated into violence, prompting police intervention. Both victims are expected to recover, while multiple suspects were arrested for assaulting emergency workers. Witnesses described the pandemonium, with reports of youths armed with weapons and attacking law enforcement, creating a fearful atmosphere in the neighborhood.
A 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man suffered suspected knife injuries and were rushed to hospital, but their injuries are not life-threatening.
We saw between 40 to 50 youths, running through the streets... We think they had knives as they were seen dropping weapons in people's driveways.
Footage from the incident appears to show a large group of children fleeing a school hall screaming, with an individual raising a weapon.
Three teenagers were arrested on suspicion of assaulting emergency workers, with an investigation into the incident currently ongoing.
