Schoolboy, 15, stabbed with ‘Zombie Killer’ knife at Notting Hill Carnival as 440 revellers are arrested during violent clashes
A TEENAGER was left fighting for life after being slashed with a Zombie Killer knife at Notting Hill Carnival.
The boy, 15, was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery on his stomach as Europe's biggest street party erupted into the worst violence in a generation.
He was among six people stabbed and is now in a stable condition.
Meanwhile, Lily Allen dramatically collapsed at the carnival after a drinking and smoking binge.
A total of 440 people were arrested over the Bank Holiday Weekend as thousands of revellers descended onto the streets for the annual party.
Zombie knives have been banned by the government as ministers crack down on the blades.
But while most revellers enjoyed the boozy party peacefully, pictures emerged of violence kicking off on the capital's streets.
One man can be seen being punched and kicked on the floor by a group of four men.
Three police attempt to break up the fight and eventually lead one man away
A plush black Audi car was later daubed in paint by an unknown vandal.
Of the 245 arrested on Monday, 122 were for drug offences while a further 60 were taken in for possession of a knife.
Eleven revellers were arrested for assaulting police.
But for most the festival was a chance to let their hair down.
One police officer was filmed gyrating with two laughing dancers.
Danielle Crossley, 19, recorded the clip.
She said: “Even police officers need to have a little fun now and again.
“He looked a little but uncomfortable.
“But well done to him, he joined in with the spirit of the carnival and everybody enjoyed the moment.”
Onlooker Rodrigo Tenreiro, 29, added: “Everybody was having a great time and the girls spotted the policeman stood at the side.
“He looked a bit bored, so they just wanted to spread the carnival atmosphere.
“I’ve never seen a policeman get as flustered as that.
“But clearly he was having a great time.
“You might even notice a cheeky smile while the girls are twerking.
“I guess that’s what community policing is all about.”
