Parsons Green stabbing: One dead and two others injured in knife attack outside Tube station

One person has died and two others injured in a triple stabbing outside Parsons Green station.

Police and paramedics were called to Parsons Green Lane at shortly after 7.35pm on Monday.

Officers closed off the Tube station and road as the last wave of commuters journeyed home from work.

The three victims, all male, were treated by medics but one of the patients died at the scene, the London Ambulance Service said.

A murder investigation has been launched and one of the wounded men has been arrested over the incident, Scotland Yard said.

Witnesses described seeing doctors giving CPR to three people lying on the ground.

One passerby, Holly Eddleston, told the Standard: "I was on Parsons Green walking my dog when a policeman ran up to us and said to leave the park immediately so that a helicopter could land.

"I walked towards the station, there were lots of police cars and a section cornered off with fabric - apparently somebody being resuscitated.

"Sounds of a girl screaming and crying were piercing.

"All of the roads in Parsons have been closed, including my own. Undercover police are searching the area looking down all drains with torches and helicopters circling also. Extremely sad."

Another witness wrote online: "Came out of Parsons Green Tube Station 30 mins ago to the aftermath of a stabbing. 3 bodies receiving CPR. Station now shut and road closed."

An LAS spokeswoman said it received a call at 7.38pm to an incident near the station.

She said: "We sent two ambulance crews, a first responder in a car and an incident response officer to the scene. A team from London's Air Ambulance was also dispatched to the scene by car.

"We treated three patients at the scene. We have taken two patients to hospital as a priority. Sadly one patient died at the scene."

The two other men do not have life-threatening or life-changing injuries, Scotland Yard said.

The incident is not being treated as terrorism-related.
