Police are probing a possible link between the stabbing and a robbery on a nearby popular jogging route in Finsbury Park, where they later found a discarded gun.
The suspect, described by police as a slim black man, dressed all in black and carrying a grey man bag, was chased by police from Parkland Walk before fleeing towards Upper Tollington Road. After the chase police found a discarded bag containing a firearm.
No arrests have been made.
