Detectives investigating a ‘brutal and brazen’ stabbing on New Year’s Eve have made an arrest.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent by the Met’s gangs squad in the early hours of this morning at an address in Grange Road, Canning Town.
He is now in custody at an east London police station.
Det Sgt Olly Clark said: “It was a brutal and brazen attack which could have quite easily been fatal.
“I hope today’s arrest highlights our dedication to protecting our communities and targeting dangerous offenders.”
Police were called to a stabbing at a shop in Hermit Road at about 7.55pm on December 31 last year.
Officers and paramedics found a 22-year-old man suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to an east London hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
