Hackney rave turns into full-blown riot with two stabbed and police pelted with bottles

Disturbing footage shows the moment an out-of-control rave turns into a street riot as revellers turn against the police and pelt officers with bottles and other missiles.



Police in riot gear were deployed to a housing estate in Hackney, north London, where hundreds of youths were attending a rave which turned violent.



A man was fighting for his life after being stabbed as violence flared on a warm Saturday night, and a woman was also knifed on a weekend where four people were killed in the capital.



Video shows police officers detaining a man at gunpoint and then taking cover as they are pelted with missiles, including glass bottles, as people in the crowd cheer.



Officers were initially called to reports of a party with a man seen in possession of a knife, the Metropolitan Police said.
