A boy believed to be aged fifteen has been stabbed in broad daylight on a busy east London road.

The victim was found stabbed in Ilford Lane, close to the junction with Norman Road shortly after 3.15pm.

Police and medics treated the teenager for stab injuries at the side of the road before he was rushed to an east London hospital.

Officers subsequently described the boy’s condition as non life-threatening.

A Met spokesperson told the Standard: “At this very early stage police are working to understand the circumstances.

“There have been no arrests.”
