There have been hundreds of arrests, a suspected murder, dozens of assaults and multiple stabbings and alleged sex assaults at this year's Notting Hill Carnival, Met Police have said.
It came as a murder investigation was launched after a 21-year-old man died after being stabbed in Ladbroke Grove. It was one of a number of violent incidents at the carnival on Monday.
The Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service, Louisa Rolfe, revealed that she gave first aid to another young stabbing victim. She said that the young victim had suffered "awful injuries" but she had since heard they were not life threatening.

On Twitter, AC Rolfe said: "Did not expect to be applying pressure to serious stab wounds today. Victim barely an adult and awful injuries but I've since heard not life threatening, thank goodness.
"Someone's son and I'm sure family are now worried sick. Thinking of them all.
"Thank you to police medics and officers who supported me & colleagues when we encountered a stab victim this evening. Now safely in the hands of London Ambulance."
Met Police said that, as of 12:01am on Tuesday, 30 August, a total of 209 arrests had been made since the start of Carnival. The alleged offences broke downs as:
Dr Alison Heydari, Commander of Local Policing, said: "Officers from across the Met have been working tirelessly over the past two days to ensure that all those who came to Notting Hill Carnival could enjoy the experience safely.
"It was the culmination of months of close coordination with the organisers, our local authority and emergency service partners and the community. The atmosphere over the past two days has been largely positive and good natured as Carnival should be.
