Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, which represents 30,000 officers in the department, stated that officers prevented up to 300 clashes due to a “element that turns up to cause harm to others.”
He stated on LBC, ‘It is revolting. During the carnival, multiple individuals sexually abused a colleague. My thoughts are with that person right now.

As a result of the violence, Mr. Marsh has called for the carnival to be canceled, with officers breaking up between 200 and 300 fights.
He stated, “We cannot have a situation where every year on the bank holiday weekend I discuss why so many of my coworkers are gravely hurt or assaulted. The public has been seriously harmed or assaulted.
‘Over the course of two days, we confiscated dozens of knives and broke up between 200 and 300 tiny, irregular clashes. This is not an enjoyable weekend.

A 21-year-old footballer-turned-drill rapper was fatally stabbed at Notting Hill Carnival.
Takayo Nembhard, a former footballer-turned-drill rapper, was identified as the guy stabbed to death at the Notting Hill carnival after traveling from Bristol “just to have a good time,” while police hunt for his murderer.
Mr. Nembhard, 21 years old, was fatally stabbed on Ladbroke Grove beneath the Westway flyover at 8 p.m. on Monday, when hundreds of people packed the streets for the west London carnival.
Police officers administered first aid until paramedics arrived, after which he was transported to an ambulance “through huge crowds in challenging circumstances”
Mr. Nembhard, whose stage name was TKorStretch and whose YouTube music videos have had just under one million views, was transferred to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead Wednesday night.
Former Bristol Rovers youth team player who turned to drill rapping after an injury forced him to retire from football. His girlfriend is also pregnant, and a touching memorial states that the unborn child will never meet his father.
Today’s Instagram post revealed his passing: ‘Two years ago, a young 19-year-old man from Bristol came to my studio with his father; his name was Takayo Nembhard AKA TKorStretch.
This meeting took us on an adventure. Together, we recorded some excellent music. His talent was limitless, and I can assure you he was on the verge of greatness.
‘It is with a sorrowful heart that I inform you that Takayo (TKorStretch) died yesterday night. He traveled from Bristol to enjoy himself at the London carnival, and this is the result.
‘My sincere sympathies to TK’s mother and father, as well as to his brother, two sisters, girlfriend, and unborn kid who will never meet their father! What has occurred crushes my heart, since TK was a good child and a decent man. Peace be with you, dear friend.
Chris Patrick, Mr. Nembhard’s manager, stated in a statement, ‘He went to Carnival with his younger sister and pals to have fun. This is the worst conceivable outcome for a child with talent.
As part of his performance persona, TKorStretch wore masks.
In a July 2013 interview with Wordplay Magazine, he revealed why: “I don’t want my face to be the one everyone recognizes.” I do not want to go to Tesco and have people recognize me as a musician.
“I have no interest in celebrity; I just want to make music and have people appreciate it. I don’t mind conversing with others, don’t get me wrong, but when I’m with my mother or sisters, I just want to relax.
He described how he began making music as a teenager after sustaining a leg injury while playing for the under-17 Bristol Rovers club.
‘I was in the academy from the ages of 6 to 16 but suffered an injury, a blood clot in my right leg, so I knew I wouldn’t play for a long,’ he explained.
“Because of this, I wanted to find something to keep me focused so that I wouldn’t lose my mind. I enjoyed singing, so I visited a few studios here and there before taking it more seriously.’
“The reality is that 98 percent of the people that go there are law-abiding and want to have fun, but there is a small percentage, and I’m sick of no one talking about it, who go for one reason: to cause harm to others. This is not stopping, has never stopped, and we must cry, ‘Enough!’
I believe that it should be stopped. I believe it should be located in a private place, such as Hyde Park, where it can be gated off and individuals can be monitored and examined as they enter and exit.
“You cannot have a situation in which we discuss 1.5 million people, and in which we discuss, what, three million next year?” We lack the resources to address the issue. This requires the expenditure of tens of millions of pounds of public funds for policing.
“We are ultimately responsible for it, and the mayor will be down our throats faster than you can blink if something awful happens.” This is ridiculous and cannot continue.
Roy Ramm, the former head of specialist operations for the Metropolitan Police, stated Wednesday that the final day of the festival devolves into violence because “gangs show there to settle scores.”
He stated, “For the majority of individuals, it is safe.” We saw a terrific day on Sunday. Yesterday throughout the majority of the day, the area was secure and well-policed. Over many years, police have learnt a great lot about how to police the carnival.
‘But there is a point when it degenerates, usually on the last day it seems. The drug dealers and gangs appear to reject the spirit of carnival and instead use the occasion to settle scores, establish territory, and brandish blades.
It is a tragedy, both for the family of the deceased young guy and for the residents of Notting Hill.
He said, “The problem is that these young males, and they are young men, want to fight, mark their area, and sell drugs.” They intend to destroy it in the evenings.
The latest event, held in 2019 prior to the epidemic, resulted in 463 criminal charges, according to Met Police statistics. The majority of crimes included drugs.
On the final tumultuous day of the carnival, images emerged of a thug savagely punching a woman to the ground as a melee broke out.
Another video shows crowds yelling and having to scale a fence as thousands of people ended up crammed into a single road with no room to move, and footage of a topless brawl between two ladies at the event on Sunday has also been posted.
Sunday’s altercation between two women was captured on film and published online.
The video depicts two ladies, one of them is wearing a black tank top that exposes her breasts, being restrained by a man and a woman.
The woman without a top lunges towards a woman wearing a black-and-white striped cardigan and repeatedly punches her in the head in front of a startled crowd.
Yesterday, the Met Police Federation stated that officers fear policing the carnival because of the violence.
Officers are still searching for the individual who fatally stabbed Mr. Nemhard during the carnival on Monday night.
Officers administered first treatment to the victim until paramedics arrived following the stabbing at 8 p.m. on Ladbroke Grove beneath the Westway flyover; he was then transported to an ambulance “through huge crowds and hard circumstances.”
At the local hospital, he was pronounced dead.
Mr. Nembhard, whose stage name was TKorStretch and whose YouTube music videos have had just under one million views, was transferred to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead Wednesday night.
His partner is currently pregnant with a child who will never meet his father, according to a touching memorial.
She tweeted a photo of him embracing her baby bump with the caption, “So grateful to be carrying a piece of you.” Love you in this and the next life.
In an Instagram post, she said, “Takayo, my dear, beautiful child, all I can ask over and over again is why?” You were the most lovely, hilarious, and kind individual.
“I’ve been crying nonstop for the past 12 hours while carrying your unborn kid, leaving me with painful eyes and a heavy heart. I will always remind him of how wonderful you were as a son, brother, boyfriend, and friend.
“My love for you will never cease, and I will honor your name daily.” Your sisters will be cared for to the best of my ability. They adored you tremendously. We all did.
“Yesterday, I held your hand for the last time as you walked there motionless, and baby T immediately kicked me, which broke me.” It is unfair that we inhabit such a terrible planet. I’m so upset, yet I’m constantly told I need to be strong for the baby.
“The support you had yesterday at the hospital from relatives and friends was really amazing. I simply wish you realized how much you are loved.

“I love you with all my heart, and I’m so happy to be able to share something so wonderful with you, and I know I’ll see you every day in him.”
Earlier yesterday, Mr. Marsh told MailOnline, ‘It is like playing a broken record, since the same things occur year after year.
“It is extremely challenging to manage, maintain, and deal with.
Seventy-four of my coworkers were injured during a supposed “calm” festival.
People arrive with knives, and someone has been fatally stabbed. Additionally, there were numerous conflicts between diverse groups.
This cannot continue to be the situation year after year, nor can we continue to permit it.
This must take place in a private location, such as Hyde Park, where it can be much more readily regulated.
There have been discussions about relocating the carnival to a private location, but the suggestions have been rejected.
