Five people were taken to hospital following the incident.
A sword-wielding man has been arrested after witnesses spoke of shrieks and screams following reported stabbings and attacks on police officers.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were initially called to reports of a vehicle being driven into a house. Speaking about what he saw on Tuesday morning, the witness said: “I heard shouting, I heard shrieking – I thought ‘who would be shrieking at this time in the morning?’ “From that commotion at least one person was knifed – I think it might have been a woman because I heard a woman scream and then some sort of sobbing sounds.
