A teenager is recovering in hospital after being stabbed in broad daylight.

The 19-year-old man was attacked near the Oliver Tambo Recreation Ground in Bounds Green, north London.

Police were called at approximately 7.05 pm on Wednesday to reports of a stabbing in a park on Albert Road.

Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found a teenage victim with a knife wound.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “He has been taken to hospital for treatment.

“His condition is not thought to be life threatening.”

There have been no arrests and enquiries into the circumstances continue, he added.

The stabbing happened a day after a 15-year-old, named locally as Pharrell Garcia, was stabbed to death on Stellman Close, Hackney on Tuesday.

Less than 48 hours earlier, Rene Graham, also 15, was shot dead at a “family fun day” in Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance Park in Ladbroke Grove on Sunday.
