A man is seriously injured in hospital after being attacked in Stroud Green early yesterday morning.

The 26-year-old is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after reportedly being stabbed at the junction of Perth Road and Ennis Road, near The Faltering Fullback pub, at just before 1am.

Police closed both roads yesterday while they investigated and handed leaflets to nearby households asking for witnesses and information.

Detectives have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with the incident, who is being held at a north London police station.
