The male teenage victim has been taken to hospital.
A section 60 order has been authorised covering the N1, N7, WC1 and EC1 areas of Camden, Islington and Hackney. This allows officers to stop and search anyone in a specific area without needing to have reasonable grounds.
Police are investigating. No one has been arrested yet.
