A man was reportedly stabbed in a mass brawl close to a car boot sale in west London.

Police said they were called to a large fight between people armed with knives and other weapons in Staines Road, Hounslow, at about 7am on Sunday.

The fight reportedly broke out after a man was hit by a van close to the entrance of Hounslow Heath car boot sale, which is in Staines Road.

Scotland Yard said the group believed to be involved in the fight had left before officers arrived on the scene.

Staines Road was sealed off and the market was shut down by police as they searched the area. The road remained closed at about 12.45pm.

One man was in hospital with a stab wound and another serious arm injury, police said. The pedestrian was being treated for leg injuries.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
