• Two people were stabbed in Powis Terrace and Oxford Gardens, and police said neither injury was life-threatening.
• Officers used live facial recognition, knife arches and stop-and-search, and 52 arrests followed identifications made by the facial recognition system.
• British Transport Police made 30 arrests across the two days and reported four officers assaulted, while a separate Tube brawl at Baker Street was captured on video.
