The Metropolitan Police were called to reports of a stabbing in Adams Road in Tottenham just after 2pm on Sunday. A 16-year-old boy was found with stab injuries and was taken to hospital after being treated at the scene.

       Former Tory Parliamentary candidate Ben Obese-Jecty wrote on Twitter: "Yet another tragic stabbing in Tottenham today.

       "2pm on a Sunday afternoon in Lordship Rec, a busy park.

       "The victim left in a critical condition.

       "The lawlessness in Tottenham is fast making some areas a dangerous no-go zone. The blight on young lives is utterly heartbreaking."
