Notting Hill Carnival: Two stabbed and 423 arrests but 'less serious violence than previous years', police say

This year’s Notting Hill Carnival saw 423 arrests and two stabbings, but far fewer incidents of serious violence than in recent years, the Metropolitan Police said.

Around a million revellers flocked to Notting Hill this bank holiday weekend, many dressed in vibrant costumes and donning feathered headdresses, sequins, and Caribbean flags, for the return of Europe’s biggest street party.
