Two men were found stabbed in Bow after a group of armed men were seen fighting. 

Officers from the Metropolitan Police were dispatched to William Place at 7pm yesterday (April 17) after receiving reports of a fight between men armed with weapons. 

A second call was made later with reports of two men having been found with stab injuries in Lacey Mews, less than a mile away from the site of the first report. 

Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service were also in attendance and both men were taken to hospital.
