Paramedics were attacked with bottles and riot police called in amid scenes of "widespread disorder" in North London last night.

More than 400 people were gathered at a party in Stamford Hill and police were called after neighbours complained about the noise.

Police said a number of fights broke out and the scene turned violent and choatic.

Officers came under "sustained attack with bottles, bricks and other items thrown at them from balconies".

The London Ambulance Service also said staff had been attacked with bottles and they were forced to call in police for protection.

An LAS Twitter account posted an image of a paramedic treating a woman in the road while Met police officers stood guard.

A caption read: "One of our operatives is protected by MPSHackney while treating patient in difficult environment #999family"

Attack: Officers were pelted with bricks and bottles, the Met said

One local tweeted: "Really aggressive s*** going down in Stamford hill just got attacked on my way home people in the streets"

Another added: "Crumbs! Seems like things got kinda crazy in stamford hill last night?!"

Police said the scene in Bethune Road dispersed around 2am on Sunday morning.

A search of the area recovered a knife.

Detective Chief Inspector Cath Edginton, from Hackney borough, said: "A number of residents had contacted police to complain about the noise levels at the party and it was for this reason that officers attended. To be confronted by hundreds of people and attacked in this way is wholly unacceptable."
