This incident came under an hour after police were called to reports of people fighting outside Tooting Broadway Underground Station, where a man was taken to hospital with a stab injury to his chest.
Police said: "We were called at 3.12pm on Thursday, March 24, to reports of people fighting outside Tooting Broadway Underground Station.
"Officers attended and carried out a thorough search of the area, however, no suspects or victims were identified.
"A man, aged his 30s, subsequently attended a South London hospital with a stab injury to his chest. His condition was assessed as not life-threatening. Enquiries suggest the injury was as a result of the incident outside Tooting Broadway Underground Station.”
A 17-year-old boy was also rushed to hospital in a separate attack in Northampton Park, Islington shortly after 5.30 pm on Thursday.
The teenager’s injuries were deemed not life-threatening and he was later arrested on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon.
In a frantic day, police were also called to the Asda supermarket on Forty Lane, Wembley at around 5.30pm.
On arrival, officers found a man in his 20s suffering from stab wounds, with his injures deemed as life-threatening.
