A third teenager has been arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into a multiple stabbing incident at a Halloween party. Five boys, aged 16 and 17, sustained stab wounds during the event on Saturday evening, prompting a significant police response.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest of a 15-year-old male, who is currently in custody. This follows the earlier apprehension of two other 16-year-old boys, both of whom have since been bailed. The nature of their involvement has not been fully disclosed by authorities.
