Three stabbed at Music Awards show featuring Leona Lewis

One has 'serious' injuries

One person arrested over the attack

THREE people were injured in ugly scenes at a British music awards ceremony, in London with one person seriously hurt.

Metropolitan police said two others sustained minor injuries at the sixth annual Urban Music Awards at the O2 entertainment complex in south east London on Saturday night. One person has been arrested.

"We were called at  10:11pm GMT (9:11am AEDT) on the 15th to a disturbance at the O2 Arena site," a spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said.

"We found three men suffering injuries. Two are not serious injuries, the other one is. They appeared to be stab or slash victims. There has been one arrest."

...Police sources indicated that the most serious casualty may have been stabbed and the other two might have been hit by flying glass.

...Andre Nevling, 24, said a woman sat at the same table as himself was "covered" in blood.

"Obviously the guy who got stabbed must have run straight past her and she's pretty shaken up," he said.

...Natalie Williams, 32, said: "It's a huge shame that a small group of people have ruined everything for everyone."

“Urban = drug dealers, thugs, sexual deviants.”

That’s a little harsh. There are a lot of positive aspects about urban areas.

I meant the music, not the areas. No offense.
