Every year the Notting Hill Carnival weekend is one of the busiest for emergency services in and around London, and this year was no different with the Metropolitan Police tonight revealing that, at final county, they made at least 230 arrests for offences including five horror stabbings.

The event, which took place on Sunday and Monday, drew in an estimated one million people over the bank holiday weekend, with about 7,000 officers on duty across the celebrations. The carnival is Europe’s biggest street party and is billed by organisers as “the greatest community-led event on the planet”"

And, while the vast majority behaved themselves, a number of people have found themselves in a police cell for criminal offences. The Metropolitan Police issued an update detailing the number of offences they've dealt with over the course of the event.

As of 10.45pm on Monday, August 26, the force confirmed three firearms have been seized, two at Carnival and one during a vehicle stop in Harrow involving individuals believed to be on their way to the event. There had also been five stabbings, two incidents where victims sustained slash wounds and "an incident involving a corrosive substance", police said.

Shockingly, two of those who were stabbed are in a life threatening condition. The 32-year-old woman stabbed on Sunday also remains fighting for her life in hospital in a life threatening condition. A total of 230 people had been arrested and 35 officers were injured.

A breakdown of offences for Monday’s arrests has been uploaded to the Met Police website and shared on their social media channels.

Here's the full list:

• 49 x possession of an offensive weapon

As of 11pm last night police confirmed there was only a small number of people left in the vicinity of the Carnival. A police spokesperson cnfirmed officers remained in the area to ensure any further incidents were dealt with.

As with many large gatherings The Metropolitan Police put a Section 60 order in place “for the Carnival area from 6.05pm to 2am”, giving police greater stop and search powers. The police said the order also gives officers the power to demand the removal of face coverings being used to conceal a person’s identity and anyone refusing can be arrested.
