A man is fighting for his life after being stabbed outside a KFC restaurant in a busy north London road.
Police, paramedics and air ambulance doctors were called to Finchley High Road, near the junction with Huntingdon Road, at 3.10pm.
Scotland Yard said a man, thought to be in his 50s, was taken to hospital with stab injuries.
His condition is described as critical.
Brian Schwartz, co-owner of Black Gull Books opposite the KFC, said police had set up a crime scene across the road where the man was injured.
He said: "I was on my break at the time but someone told me a customer had come in to say there was a stabbing.
"A police officer came in to ask me if we had any CCTV but unfortunately we aren't able to help them. They cordoned off the pavement outside KFC and have set up cameras there."
George Sessions, 22, was being treated at Finchley Memorial Hospital when the victim arrived with his injuries.
He told the Standard: "I was in the hospital being seen by a nurse when she had to rush off because somebody had been stabbed.
"I overheard somebody say 'it looks really bad'.
"I know that an air ambulance was needed and landed at the hospital whilst I was there to take him somewhere else."
The Met is appealing for anyone who saw the stabbing to call 101 and ask for Barnet police, or phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
No one has been arrested over the attack.
Police in Barnet said the man was injured outside a KFC restaurant.
