POLICE received reports of a third stabbing outside Edgware Community Hospital last night, but no victim has been found.

Officers dispatched a helicopter with heat sensors and an ambulance crew, as police searched the area around Burnt Oak Broadway, after a woman called 999 at around 9.22pm reporting someone with stab-like wounds in the front of the hospital.

The London Ambulance Services (LAS) confirmed they were called to reports of a stabbing and sent a crew to the area.

The Times-Series also received reports of an operation by Hertfordshire Constabulary on the Grahame Park Estate.
