Enfield stabbing: Man attacked after series of attacks in north London

A man has been stabbed by an attacker matching the description of a knifeman who injured four people in one night.

The victim, aged in his 30s, was left with life-threatening injuries when he was stabbed in Fairfield Road, Enfield, north London at around 5am on Tuesday, just yards from the scene of a previous attack at the weekend.

Police have said the latest incident has not yet been formally linked to a series of knife attacks in the area, but the culprit in all five is a tall, skinny black man wearing a hooded top.

Two men who were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm remain in custody, and investigators have until later on Tuesday to interview them.
