Mother stabbed at Carnival was there with young child

A mother who went to the family day of the Notting Hill Carnival with her young child narrowly escaped death after being stabbed. The 32-year-old woman remains in a critical condition in hospital after she was attacked at the event on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police said.

The Sunday of the carnival is dubbed “families and children’s day” and includes a children’s parade, while the bank holiday Monday is billed as “adults day”.

Three people were stabbed at the event on Sunday. A 29-yearold man remains in hospital in a non-life-threatening condition, and a 24-year-old man was discharged from hospital after his condition was assessed as non-life-threatening.
