Police discovered the four injured men - all thought to be in their 20s and 30s - following reports of gunshots in Lawrence Road, South Tottehnham, at about 6am on Sunday.

It is thought the violence may have stemmed from an early Valentine’s celebration taking place in the same road.

Details of exactly what happened remain unclear, but one man was taken to an east London hospital suffering gunshot wounds - where he remains in a critical but stable condition. The two stab victims remain in an east London hospital in a serious condition.

The fourth man, who suffered head injuries, was treated in hospital and released the same day.

Police cordoned off the scene - including parts of West Green Road, where a forensic tent was set up outside Dream Nails, and Lawrence Road - for the whole of Sunday and into Monday. Residents were advised to remain in their homes on Sunday.

Police were keen to stress the incident was in no way related to the fatal shooting of Ali Armagan near Turnpike Lane Tube on February 1.

There have been no arrests and inquiries continue under Operation Trident. Investigators are appealing to anyone in the area at the time of the incident to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
