London, UK – A violent street brawl involving knife-wielding individuals escalated dramatically outside the London Central Mosque in Regent's Park on Saturday, September 27, when a car ploughed into the fighting group. One man sustained stab injuries, and a 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed they received multiple reports of a large disturbance on Park Road, NW8, around 3:48 PM. Initial reports indicated several men were engaged in a fight in the road before a single vehicle collided with them. Social media footage captured the chaotic scene, showing men brawling, some appearing to brandish weapons, before a black car struck the group.
"A man was stabbed and several injured after getting rammed by a driver during a massive gang fight in front of the Regents Park mosque in London," a social media post from Visegrád 24 stated, highlighting the severity of the confrontation.
Following the incident, officers located one man with stab injuries, which are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening. The 30-year-old suspect was apprehended on suspicion of affray and remains in custody as inquiries continue. Bystanders were reportedly horrified by the unfolding events in broad daylight.
This incident occurs amidst ongoing concerns about violent crime in London. While the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, reported a 19 percent drop in knife crime between April and June this year compared to the same period in 2024, official data indicates an overall 40 percent increase in violent crime in the Metropolitan Police area over the past decade. Recent weeks have seen several high-profile stabbings across the capital.
