Blood has been left smeared over a white Mercedes inside the cordon of a double stabbing in London – as a man is left fighting for his life following another night of violence in the capital.
A 23-year-old man is in a life-threatening condition after he was found with stab injuries in East Ferry Road on the Isle of Dogs at around 10.45pm last night.
While at the scene, police discovered a second man, also believed to be in his 20s, with stab injuries in nearby Limeharbour.
He was also rushed to hospital, but details of his condition have not yet been disclosed.

It comes amid a month of shocking violence in London, which saw six suspected murders in just four days.
Thomas O’Halloran, 87, was repeatedly stabbed while riding a mobility scooter in Greenford, west London, on August 16.
The grandfather travelled 75 yards to Runnymede on his scooter, flagged down a member of the public for help, but could not be saved.
A number of horrifying incidents involving armed thieves in recent days.
Footage emerged of a man and woman are robbed at knife point in broad daylight while walking through an upmarket London borough last week.
Video footage taken on Monday showed the female victim laying in a doorway in Pond Place, Chelsea, while kicking her legs as an attacker donning a black balaclava and hoodie stands over her.
Her screams billow down the street as a second attacker, also in a black hoodie, repeatedly punches her male companion just yards away.
That shocking incident came just hours after a brazen thief disguised as a Deliveroo driver smashed a £3million Bugatti Chiron with a hammer in a bid to steal a Kuwaiti playboy’s Rolex as he drove through the capital on August 21.

And on August 20, a brawl in south London saw at least four people stabbed, as pressure mounts on Mayor Sadiq Khan to better tackle the scourge of knife crime, which has surged over the past year as the UK exited the Covid pandemic.
In the 35-second clip recorded on Monday, shared on Twitter, the thieves are seen switching their victims as they continue to assault and rob them, with the woman’s watch believed to have been their main target.
The shocking theft in Chelsea led TV star Shabs Ahmad, who starred in the BBC’s hit show Supercar Superfam, to warn Sadiq Khan that he will have ‘blood on’ his ‘hands’ if he does not step in to address the wave of violent crime continuing to hit London.
He said: ‘Sadiq Khan are you seeing this s*** mate? And you’re too busy expanding the ULEZ? Sort it out. Like I said before, you will have blood on your hands.
‘This guy could have very easily been stabbed.’
Mr Khan this month insisted London is a safe city, but says he has ‘one hand tied behind my back because of austerity’.
The Mayor of London said the public were ‘caught in the crossfire’ of Government policy decisions.
He said in a statement: ‘One homicide is a homicide too many, and one victim of crime is one victim of crime too many, but I feel like over the last six years I’ve had one hand tied behind my back because of austerity.
‘We’ve lost 21,000 officers, the Government has now said it will replace them with 20,000 officers when our population has gone up.
‘We’ve had cuts in youth workers, in youth services, in after-school clubs, in services councils provide because of the choice made by the government and it is Londoners who are caught in the crossfire.’
And speaking to LBC radio, the mayor also pointed to ‘longer daylight hours, school holidays, a heatwave’ and the cost of living crisis after six killings in the city in less than a week.
Addressing the surge in violence, he told the radio channel on August 18: ‘We have seen over the last few days, the last week, a number of awful homicides.
‘I’m afraid this summer we are seeing what we feared, which is an increase in violent crime… there are longer daylight hours, school holidays, a heatwave and so forth.
‘We are working with the police to suppress that violence.’
