Three teenagers were arrested last night after a gang of youths crashed a birthday party at a school and stabbed two teenagers.
It has been reported that more than 50 youths armed with knives and machetes ran into Elm Park Primary School's hall, in Havering, Essex, at around 9pm on Saturday.
The fighting allegedly lasted until 11pm before three teenagers were arrested on suspicion of assaulting emergency workers.
The police also confirmed that two teenagers, aged 19 and 16, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening knife injuries.
While the officers who clashed with the youths were treated at the scene by the London Ambulance Service.
Footage from the scene shows dozens of children fleeing the hall screaming, as individuals at the back of the room can be seen raising weapons above their heads.
One local resident told the Havering Daily: 'It was total chaos. We saw between 40-50 youths, running through the streets.
They were attacking the police and there were so many of them that the police had to just disperse them. We couldn't believe what we saw. They were all aged 16 and over and they were not from here.
'Our road is normally so quiet, things like this don't happen here. This is why we are all so shocked at what has happened.
'We saw the police running after the youths, but due to the large number of them, the only choice they had was to disperse them.
'Our road was closed off for ages due to this and we were told that a serious incident had happened.'
One mother claimed her daughter, 15, has also been taken to hospital after being attacked on a train by the same mob of youths who ran from the party.
