Two men in their 20s have been stabbed near student accommodation in north-west London.

The pair were left with knife wounds after the incident in Empire Way, Wembley, near the Grand Felda House Student Accommodation, on Tuesday evening.

They were taken to hospital where their injuries were initially reported to be life-threatening.

However, the Metropolitan Police later said they were in a non-life-threatening condition.

No arrests have been made.

Brent MPS tweeted on Wednesday morning: “UPDATE: Earlier stabbing in Empire Way #Wembley – injuries confirmed non-life threatening for both men who were injured.

“No arrests; enquiries ongoing.”

It is unclear if the victims are students.

It comes after a spate of stabbings in Edmonton, north London.

A man was left in a critical condition after being stabbed in Enfield on Tuesday after four random stabbings in nearby Edmonton over the weekend.
