A man has been stabbed after a fight outside a Wireless festival afterparty held in central London.

Piccadilly was cordoned off by police after the knife attack on Monday (July 14) at 1.15am.

A man in his 20s was treated for stab injuries before he was taken to hospital, where his injuries were found to be non-life changing or threatening.

It occurred near to the One Ninety Four venue in London, where UK artist Stefflon Don held a “celebrity stripper party of the year” on Sunday (July 13) at 10pm.

It was advertised as a Wireless afterparty, following the three-day music event at Finsbury Park.

No arrests have been made at this stage but investigations continue.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “On Monday, 14 July at 01:15hrs police were called to Piccadilly, W1 following reports of a stabbing.

“Met officers attended the scene alongside paramedics who treated a man in his 20s for stab injuries before taking him to a near-by hospital.

“His injuries have since been confirmed to be non-life changing/threatening.

“At this early stage, there has been no arrest.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference CAD449/14July.
