The victims of the incident were an officer who was hit by thrown bottles, and the 3 people stabbed.

 “Police in Westminster were in attendance at Hyde Park by the Serpentine from 3pm after a large number of people gathered for a spontaneous ‘water fight,” said a Scotland Yard spokesman. “At around 8:40pm parts of the increasingly large crowd become hostile to police and items including bottles were thrown towards officers.
No arrests have yet been made, but the police are appealing for witnesses to come forward to testify.
