A teenage boy and a man have been stabbed within minutes of each other in separate incidents in north London.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers were called to Sycamore Gardens, Tottenham, at 10.18pm on Sunday and found a teenage boy with stab injuries.

He was treated at the scene and taken by London Ambulance Service to hospital. His condition is not known.

Soon afterwards, at 10.41pm, officers were called to Herbert Road - less than half a mile away - where they found a man in his 20s with stab injuries.

Paramedics treated him at the scene and took him to hospital. His condition was also not immediately known.

Crime scenes were put in place on Sycamore Gardens and Herbert Road.

Police from Haringey have put a section 60 order in place until 1pm on Monday.

The order covers the N8 Turnpike Lane area, N15, N17 and N22.

The directive allows police expanded stop and search powers.

The stabbings were the third in Tottenham in just over 12 hours.

Police have not said any of the incidents are linked.
