Three men were stabbed in a street brawl in North London yesterday evening.
The victims, who are in their 20s, were taken to hospital where one remains, in a stable condition. The other two men were treated for superficial wounds and discharged.
It comes after new figures revealed that killings in England and Wales rose by 14 per cent to 739 last year, and knife crime rose by 12 per cent - with nearly 40,000 reported to police according to the Office for National Statistics.
Police were called to Fore Street in Edmonton at around 5.30pm on Thursday following reports of a group of youths carrying weapons.

The knifeman could still be at large. According to the latest statement issued by the Metropolitan Police, no arrests have yet been made in connection with the attack.
Officers put a Section 60 order in place after the incident, empowering themselves to carry out searches in a specific area and during a specific time window when they have good reason to believe someone may be carrying a weapon.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: 'Police were called on Thursday, 24 January at around 17:30 hours to reports of a disturbance and a group of youths in possession of weapons in Fore Street, N18.
'Officers attended and were then informed that three men, in their 20s had attended hospital with stab injuries.
'Two of them have now been discharged after treatment for superficial injuries. The third man remains in hospital but his condition is stable.
'No arrests have been made at this stage and enquiries are ongoing.
'Following the incident, a Section 60 order was authorised for Enfield Borough wards east of the A10. Officers remain on scene.'

Knife crime hit nearly 40,000 incidents in shocking new crime statistics released by the Office for National Statistics today
Knife crime was on the up in the year to September 2018, according to the the figures released by the ONS today
Police found an eight per cent rise in offences with knives or other sharp instruments.
Robbery is up by 17 per cent and there has also been a 24 per cent climb in public order offences, with a total of 427,134 recorded.
There was a three per cent rise in vehicle offences to 457,433, largely due to a 10 per cent jump in 'theft or unauthorised taking of a motor vehicle'.
More than 20 per cent of the population fell victim to crime, according to the survey.
The homicide figures do not include victims of terror attacks. Statisticians said this continues an upward trend since March 2014, indicating a change to the long-term decrease over the previous decade.
The data show that overall crime rose by seven per cent, with a total of 5,723,182 offences recorded.
This is the highest number in a 12-month period since the year ending March 2004, when there were 6.01 million offences recorded.
Crimes involving violence against the person are up by 19 per cent, which includes a 41 per cent increase in stalking and harassment offences.
Figures released by the British Transport Police (BTP) this week suggest knife crime on Britain's rail network has more than tripled in the last three years.
Many of the higher-harm types of violence are concentrated in London and other metropolitan areas, 128 homicides in the capital last year - the highest level in a calendar year this decade.
Prime Minister Theresa May's official spokesman said: 'These statistics show that your chance of being a victim of crime remains low, but we recognise that certain crimes - particularly violent crime - have increased, and we are taking action to address this.
'The Offensive Weapons Bill will give police extra powers to tackle knife crime and to get weapons off the street. The serious violence strategy puts a greater focus on early intervention and stopping young people from being drawn into crime in the first place.
'We have also put forward the biggest increase in police funding since 2010. It's encouraging to see the first signs of police officer numbers rising in the statistics today.'
Commenting on the figures, Helen Ross, from the ONS Centre for Crime and Justice, said: 'In recent decades we've seen the overall level of crime falling, but in the last year, it remained level.
'There are variations within this overall figure, depending on the type of crime.
'Burglary, shoplifting and computer misuse are decreasing but others, such as vehicle offences and robbery are rising.
'We have also seen increases in some types of 'lower-volume, high-harm' violence including offences involving knives or sharp instruments.'
Alex Mayes, policy and public affairs adviser at charity Victim Support, said: 'These figures starkly highlight the devastating human cost of the recent rises in serious violence that we've seen across the country.
'Working with bereaved families through our national homicide service we know just how destructive these shocking crimes are.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
