A MAN has suffered serious injuries after being stabbed during a daylight ambush in Tottenham yesterday.

The 20-year-old was found by paramedics slumped and bleeding in the back seat of a car in The Avenue after being attacked with a knife and beaten up by a group of men.

Police were called at 5.15pm following reports of the violence which broke out in nearby Mount Pleasant Road.

The victim had suffered stab wounds to his head and torso and officers instantly performed first aid.

He was airlifted to a north London hospital and is now in a stable condition, police officers said.

Police have suggested the victim had got into a dispute with another young man in Mount Pleasant Road, and was then attacked by a group, described as black, who stabbed, punched and kicked him.

He was able to escape and ran to safety in The Avenue.
