Three teenagers were arrested last night after a gang of youths crashed a party inside a school hall and stabbed two teenagers.
Around 50 to 60 yobs armed with knives ran into Elm Park Primary School’s hall, in Havering, Essex, where a sixteenth birthday party was being hosted at around 9pm on Sunday.
The fighting lasted until 11pm before three teenagers were arrested on suspicion of assault on emergency workers.
Video footage shows one of the yobs wielding what appears to be a large knife inside the hall packed full of teenagers.
A Met Police spokesperson told the Havering Daily: ‘Police were called shortly after 21:00 on Saturday, 22 March to reports of a fight involving a group on Calbourne Avenue.
‘Officers attended before engaging with a number of teenagers who became aggressive toward them.
‘Three teenagers were arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault on emergency workers. They were taken to an East London police station. They were bailed to return for questioning later today.
