Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a stabbing in Camden.

An investigation was launched after a man was attacked shortly before 04:00hrs on Tuesday, 18 April in Eversholt Street, NW1.

Officers and London Ambulance Service attended the scene and found the victim, a 26-year-old man, suffering stab injuries. He was taken to a central London hospital for treatment – he remains there; his injuries are not life threatening.
