Police had closed off two parts of Kilburn High Road, with two crime scenes in place roughly 0.7 miles – or an estimated 15-minute walk – apart on Sunday (January 5).
This was due to two teenage boys, 15 and 17, who were found stabbed at 5.50pm.
One of the teens were found injured near the North London Tavern, and the other was found further away near to The Old Bell pub.

An officer can be seen trying to stop the car before it drove into the cordon.
The driver then stopped momentarily before reversing the car and driving away.
Both boys were taken to hospital for treatment, but neither of their injuries are life-threatening.
The 17-year-old has been arrested as part of the investigation and both crime scenes were lifted by the next day.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Police were called at approximately 5.50pm on Sunday (January 5) to reports of a stabbing in Kilburn High Road, NW6.
