A father and son were seriously injured in a double stabbing in north London which police said "could easily have been fatal".

A 65-year-old man, who recently arrived in Britain to celebrate Christmas with his family, was attacked with his 37-year-old son at about 7.50pm on Christmas Eve in Finsbury Park.

The men were seriously hurt and needed hospital treatment but have since been discharged.

They were both in a grey panel van when they became involved in an altercation with the driver and passenger of a black Smart car in Green Lanes, near Manor House Tube station.

Scotland Yard said the driver and passenger were both black males.

“The elder victim had just arrived in the county to spend Christmas with his family; instead he and his son had to be rushed to hospital.

“We urgently want to find the persons responsible and I would urge the public to contact police if they have any information."
