Notting Hill Carnival Ends with Multiple Stabbings and Over 200 Arrests. On the final day of the Notting Hill Carnival, five more stabbings occurred, and 230 arrests were made, as reported by the Metropolitan Police, Sky News reports. The police used search powers to remove weapons from the streets, recovering three firearms—two at the carnival and one during a vehicle stop in Harrow. Over one million people attended the two-day celebration of Caribbean culture, which is considered the "greatest community-led event on the planet." The Met issued an appeal for information to prevent further violence after the event was marred by multiple stabbings, including one involving a corrosive substance. Among the victims was a 32-year-old mother who was stabbed on Sunday and remains in critical condition; she was attending with her young child on "family day." On Monday, two stabbing victims were in life-threatening condition, while others suffered slash wounds. Additionally, 35 officers were injured during the event. Arrests on Monday included 49 for possession of an offensive weapon, 37 for assaulting an emergency worker, eight for sexual offenses, and numerous drug-related arrests. A man wanted for attempted murder was apprehended at the carnival, and 103 arrests were made on Sunday for various offenses, including violence and robbery. The Met's Deputy Assistant Commissioner expressed frustration over the recurring violence at the carnival, emphasizing the need for community cooperation to address the issue. Notting Hill Carnival, a long-standing street party in the UK, saw heightened security with 7,000 officers on duty, but concerns over violence and safety persisted.
