FIVE teenagers have been injured in what is believed to be a mass brawl.
Police were called to reports of a major disturbance in Leyton High Road, near Coronation Gardens, at about 7.30pm yesterday (Sunday).
On arrival, they found a group of about 20 young men, who quickly dispersed, leaving behind those who were injured.
A 17-year-old suffered a stab wound to the leg and a 14-year-old was found with a slash wound to the head.
A further three teenagers, aged 14, 15, and 18, suffered dog bites.
All five were taken to an east London hospital and have since been discharged.
A 16-year-old was arrested on suspicion of GBH and has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to the incident.
Anyone with information is urged to contact DC Tyler at Chingford CID on 8345 3015 or alternatively, to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
