Met starts crackdown on street violence as boy, 16, fights for life in Tottenham

A teenage stab victim was fighting for his life on Monday as the Metropolitan Police began a new six-point plan to suppress street violence this summer.

The unnamed 16-year-old boy was found wounded after officers were called to reports of a stabbing in Adams Road, Tottenham, at just after 2pm on Sunday.

He was in a critical condition in hospital on Monday as detectives worked to track down his attacker.

No arrests had been made so far and the Met, which sealed off the scene, said inquiries were “ongoing”.

The six-point plan, drawn up by Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave, seeks to take “more money, drugs and guns off the streets” through a renewed purge on county lines gangs and habitual knife carriers.
