Police have arrested two more people as an officer, who was stabbed in the stomach in Bow while undercover, remains in hospital.

Two 16-year-old boys handed themselves into an east London police station on Thursday.

They were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remain in custody.

The plain clothes policeman, aged in his 40s, suffered serious injuries after he was allegedly stabbed in the stomach by a gang while on a covert operation last Tuesday.

He was stabbed at least three times next to the Bow Bells pub in Bow Road at around 9.20pm.

His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The police officer remains in hospital, although his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening
