LONDON The Metropolitan Police Service of London reports that on the first day of the Notting Hill Carnival, the largest street celebration in Europe, three individuals sustained stab wounds. Within the group, a lady who was 32 years old sustained injuries that were considered to be “life-threatening.”
The carnival is a celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture that takes place annually on the streets of the Notting Hill district in west London. We anticipate that the carnival will attract over one million attendees. Around 7,000 law enforcement officers will oversee the event, which concludes on Monday.
The police reported that they had made a total of 90 arrests as of Sunday, including ten people for assaulting emergency workers, eighteen people for possessing offensive weapons, and four people for sexual offences.
According to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department, hundreds of thousands of people attended the Notting Hill Carnival today to participate in a wonderful celebration. Unfortunately, a minority of people came to commit crimes and engage in violent behaviour.
