Video footage showed screaming partygoers rushing from the scene as police officers line the road where the party was taking place.

It is believed the crowd panicked after hearing a "bang" following the stabbing.

The victim was rushed to hospital with a non-life threatening stab injury.

Dozens of people gathered for the block party before the knifing as London's bloodbath rages on.

Earlier in the day, one local tweeted: "Not that many will be anywhere near but there is an Illegal street party planned on Broadwater Farm Estate N17.

'THERE WILL BE TROUBLE'

"Steer well clear there will be trouble."

One resident posted it was the second party in the past two months.

A police spokesman said earlier reports of a double shooting at the rave were inaccurate.

The spokesman said: "On Wednesday, July 24 officers were in attendance in the Broadwater Farm Estate area, N17, providing a low key presence at pre-organised event.

"At 23:20hrs officers came across a man, aged in his 20s, suffering a stab injury. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening or life-changing injuries.

"At about 23:50hrs, a bang was heard by an officer.

"Officers conducted a thorough search of the area and no evidence was found to suggest the noise was a being firearm discharged.

LONDON BLOODBATH

"There were no reports of any injuries. No one self-presented at hospital with gunshot injuries."

No arrests have been made for the stabbing.

It comes as an epidemic of violence continues to grip the capital, with more than 78 deaths in the capital so far this year.

As of July 23, Scotland Yard had launched 78 murder investigations in London.

Broadwater Farm was the scene of vicious rioting in 1985 which led to the killing of PC Keith Blakelock.

Mark Duggan, whose fatal shooting by police sparked the 2011 London riots, grew up on the sprawling estate, known locally as "The Farm".
