Video footage captured a fight among Notting Hill Carnival revellers at Baker Street station, showing a man in a brightly coloured tracksuit clashing with a group. The man appeared to throw a drink up a flight of stairs, prompting a woman in an animal-print dress to strike him with her bag, then he was pursued into a Tube carriage and repeatedly struck by another man in a white vest. Police reported fewer incidents of serious violence and described the event as safer overall, despite a heavy presence and multiple arrests. Day-two arrests numbered 223 and day-one arrests 200. Drones were used to identify individuals up to 80m away. Two non-life-threatening stabbings occurred in Powis Terrace and Oxford Gardens.
