A teenage boy was attacked in Ilford tonight.
Police officers were called to Charter Avenue at about 6.25pm to reports that a boy was injured.
They, along with crews from the London Ambulance Service, found a 13-year-old.
A spokesperson initially told the Recorder the boy had been stabbed, but later retracted the statement to say they believe he was instead assaulted with an object rather than a knife.
He was taken to hospital - his condition is not believed to be life-threatening.
Scotland Yard said no arrests have yet been made, but anyone with information about the incident should call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting CAD 6328/20Oct.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
