A crime scene is in place in a residential street in Dagenham after a triple stabbing that injured a woman and children.
Pictures taken with a drone has revealed a police cordon in the street with a police crime tent erected outside a property.
It comes after First Avenue was flooded with blue lights on October 25 as police and paramedics received reports of three people injured.
Drone photos from the scene last night captured a number of emergency response vehicles stationed in the middle of the road, preventing access.
A large cordon was also captured in pictures.
Two children, a boy believed to be two and a girl thought to be eight, were found with stab wounds.
A woman in her 30s was also found with injuries.
They were taken to a major trauma centre as a priority where their condition has been confirmed as not life-threatening.
