Three men stabbed and woman injured in horror knife attack as cops in hazmat suits swarm street & ‘homes evacuated'
THREE men have been stabbed and a woman has been injured in a horror knife attack as police in hazmat suits swarmed the street. Cops scrambled to the scene outside Willesden Green Underground Station in Willesden, northwest London. No one has been arrested yet confirmed the force. The nature and severity of the injuries are not yet clear, but police and paramedics descended on the suburban street quickly last night. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "Two 21-year-old men and a 20-year-old man were taken to hospital with stab injuries. We await an update on their condition." The road was cordoned off for several hours while forensic officers gathered evidence at the scene. Earlier reports on social media initially suggested a corrosive substance had been thrown at people on Station Parade at around 9.00pm, but cops clarified this was not the case. Police confirmed they were called to multiple reports of a stabbing on the street, which runs adjacent to the London Underground station that serves the Jubilee Line. Station Parade meets Walm Lane at the other end, by the station, which is where the commotion reportedly first started. Specialist CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) responders were deployed but were later stood down after it was confirmed not to be a chemical incident. 1
