Riot police lockdown Stamford Hill estate in London’s north and find cache of weapons

RIOT police had to lockdown an estate in London and clear youths with swords, machetes and bats off the streets.

One man was stabbed and a car was attacked by a mob of up to 30 armed with bats and hammers after it was chased down the street.

Police, who were attacked with bottles and other objects, have reportedly found and seized a large amount of weapons.

Youths clashed with armed police at Stamford Hill, in north London, an area known for its Hasidic community, the largest concentration of Haredi Jews in Europe.
