While the 16-year-old was released on bail, the 14-year-old remains in police custody.

The 22-year-old man is still in hospital, police said.

Officers described the stabbing as a “shocking outburst of violence,” which has “caused considerable concern within the community.”

“Thankfully none of those injured are seriously ill but it is imperative that we get to the bottom of what has happened,” said Met Detective Inspector Jonny Newell, who urged witnesses to come forward.

“The incident took place at a time when the area was busy with people. Some have spoken to us but there are likely others who saw the incident or captured footage of it on their mobile phones who have yet to come forward.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call 101 with the reference 6046/30NOV. Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
