A teenager has been rushed to hospital after being stabbed in east London.

Metropolitan Police officers and London Ambulance Service paramedics were called to St Leonard’s Road, Poplar, to reports of a stabbing.

Dramatic images posted on Twitter showed a police cordon on the busy dual carriageway.

A 17-year-old man was rushed to an east London hospital with a head injury and stab wounds to his legs, Scotland Yard said.

Police later confirmed he was in a stable condition.

The attack took place close to where a man, in his 20s, was stabbed outside a chicken shop in East India Dock Road on Monday.
