Sources say someone was knifed inside the shop, but their condition is currently unknown.
A 21-year-old man has been stabbed at a takeaway in north London this evening. The incident took place on Turnpike Lane in Haringey, north London, inside the Selekt Chicken takeaway just across the road from Turnpike Lane London Underground station.
Sources say someone was knifed inside the shop, but their condition is currently unknown.
It's also unknown whether the alleged attacker was caught or not.
A Met spokesman said: "Police were called by the London Ambulance Service shortly before 19:00hrs on Monday, 14 November to reports of a man stabbed on Turnpike Lane, N15.
"Officers attended and found a 21-year-old man with a stab injury. He was taken to hospital by the LAS; we await an update on his condition. There have been no arrests and enquiries continue."
Sadiq Khan has launched a London Violence Reduction Unit in an attempt to reduce crime levels in the capital.
On the website, a statement reads: "London’s Violence Reduction Unit is a team of specialists who bring people across London together to better understand why violence happens and to take action to prevent it now, and in the long-term.
"Our approach is rooted in prevention and early intervention and we are a champion and a voice for young people and communities across London.
"We believe in the importance of education and being in school, and we’re invested in providing both support and positive opportunities for young people, working with communities to give them the tools and resources to deliver change where they live. We believe violence is preventable, not inevitable."
The organisation has began research on preventing violence in the city.
They have found links between "adverse childhood experiences" and violent offending.
