A person has been taken to hospital following a stabbing in Hackney earlier today (November 11). The emergency services were called to Dalston's Ridley Road shortly before 10.30am following reports of an incident involving a knife.

Paramedics treated one person for stab wounds and rushed them to a major trauma centre. Their condition, age and gender is yet to be confirmed by police.

A second person was also assessed but later discharged at the scene without further treatment.

Ridley Road is home to a street market of the same name and would've been busy with shoppers at the time of the incident. It is opposite Dalston Kingsland station and minutes from Dalston Junction station.

The Metropolitan Police has been contacted for more information.
