Two men have been arrested after three police officers were stabbed in north London. Two men have been arrested after four police officers were attacked in London.
Officers received reports of fighting in Liverpool Road, Islington, at around 22:45 BST on Saturday and were "met with hostility", the Metropolitan Police said. One of the officers is in hospital with serious injuries after he was stabbed in Liverpool Road, Islington.
None of the injuries was believed to be life-threatening, Scotland Yard added. A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, while another man, also aged 19, has been held on suspicion of affray.
One of the arrested men was taken to a hospital for treatment, the other is being held at a police station. The Met said two male officers were stabbed, while two female officers were also injured.
Police were called at 22:43 BST on Saturday and were "met with hostility", while one man inside the property "produced a large knife", according to the force.
Supt Mike Hill said: "This incident demonstrates the courage and professionalism officers show day in day out in what can often be a dangerous job.
"When officers respond to what can often be a difficult situation or go to assist members of the public they should not be met with violence, it is completely unacceptable."
