Three young men rushed to hospital after stabbing near mosque
The incident happened near a local mosque but police have denied any religious motivation.
Three young men have been rushed to hospital following a stabbing near a mosque.
Cops are investigating the horror incident, which happened on Station Parade outside Willesden Green Underground Station in Willesden, northwest London, but no one has been arrested. The nature and severity of the injuries are not yet clear, but police and paramedics descended on the suburban street quickly last night, reports the Mirror.
It happened near the Central Masjid of Brent. However, police have ruled out any direct connection to the mosque or any religious motivation behind the incident. 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."
A 20-year-old woman who reported breathing difficulties declined medical treatment at the scene, the force added. Although no arrests have yet been made, the spokesperson continued: "There are no concerns about any impact to the wider community."
Reports on social media initially suggested a corrosive substance had been thrown at people on Station Parade at around 9.00pm, but cops have clarified this was not the case. Officers were alerted to multiple reports of a stabbing on the street, which runs adjacent to the London Underground station that serves the Jubilee Line. The street connects the area with residential communities near Gladstone Park. Station Parade meets Walm Lane at the other end, by the station, which is where the commotion reportedly first started.
A spokesperson for London Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 9.02pm today to reports of a stabbing on Walm Lane, NW2. We treated four people in total – two were taken to major trauma centres, one to another local hospital, and one declined further treatment."
The road was cordoned off for several hours while forensic cops gathered evidence at the scene. 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. The Met Police is urging the public to come forward with any information. Call 101 quoting CAD 8601/22Jun, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Reality TV stars and criminal lovers - from acid attack to fraudster ex
Despite their seemingly glitzy lives on screen, plenty of UK reality stars have found themselves embarking on romances with criminals with dark pasts, including acid attack crimes and drug dealing charges From TOWIE to Love Island, some of our favourite UK reality stars have fallen for partners with the darkest of criminal pasts. Behind the seemingly glamorous lives of some of these reality TV stars, lies relationships that have turned sour over the years after horrifying crimes and dodgy pasts came to light. On Monday, it was revealed that Ferne McCann's ex-boyfriend and the father of her daughter Sunday, seven, has struck up a romance with ex-Love Islander Amelia Peters. The thug is serving 20 years behind bars after launching an acid attack on 16 people in a nightclub, leaving them with chemical burns. Here, we take a look at some of the reality stars who have been caught dating criminals. Ferne McCann Former TOWIE star Ferne McCann, 34, was left devastated when her partner Arthur Collins, 32, went on the run from police after launching an acid attack in a nightclub while she was pregnant in 2017. Collins was sentenced to 20 years behind bars after police caught him in Northamptonshire, where he fled in the wake of the horrific assault. Ferne dumped him immediately, and gave birth to their daughter Sunday later that year. He injured 22 people when he threw a corrosive substance in Mangle E8 nightclub. He claimed he thought it was a date rape drug at the time, with 16 people suffering serious burns. Now, former Love Islander Amelia Peters has struck up a romance with the criminal behind bars. It's claimed Collins contacted Amelia last October when checking out her Instagram profile. He has sent her bouquets and she regularly visits him in prison, it is said. A source added: "They talk all the time - despite the fact he's in jail. He's got a phone they speak on and he's sent her flowers a number of times." Shaughna Phillips Love Island star Shaughna Phillips recently announced her pregnancy to fans. The star is expecting her second child with Billy Webb, who is still serving time in an open prison. Billy, who is also the father of her first child Lucia, was sentenced to nine years in prison pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5 kilograms of cocaine worth at least £360,000. He served 12 months. As Billy had day releases from the open prison, TV personality Shaughna has been able to enjoy family days out with him over the last seven months. The 30-year-old star only recently announced her pregnancy via her social media channels on Sunday morning. She exclusively told the Mirror: "We're so happy to announce we are adding to our little family. Lucia is going to be the best big sister and is really excited to have a new baby brother or sister arrive later this year." Lauren Goodger TOWIE original Lauren, 38, began dating Joey Morrison in 2017, while he was serving a 16-year prison sentence. Morrison, 38, was jailed in 2010 for dressing as a postman to burgle properties, after police found him in possession of £60,000 of cocaine and a £90,000 Land Rover. In 2018, shortly before his release from prison, Lauren dumped him, accusing him of sending female "fans" explicit snaps from his grotty jail cell. Gemma Collins Gemma Collins, 44, first dated Stephen Mortimer in 2016. Stephen was jailed for two years in October 2016 for stealing jewellery in a home raid, just months after he had split from the reality TV favourite. He has had a fair few brushes with the law and was famously sent back to jail while Gemma was in Celebrity Big Brother. Stephen had allegedly breached licence terms by moving in with the CBB star at the time. He had previously spent two years in prison for grievous bodily harm (GBH). Amy Childs Another TOWIE favourite Amy Childs, 35, welcomed her first child Polly, eight, with convict Bradley Wright in 2017. Wright is a builder who has a criminal record and has served two stints in jail and time in a Young Offender Institution. He and Amy first struck up a romance back in 2013 but split in 2015. They rekindled their romance in March 2016. Wright was sentenced to 18 months in prison for handling stolen goods in 2014. He already had a criminal record having received a sentence of 16 months at Basildon Crown Court, Essex, in 2013, for three counts of theft. In 2010 he spent 19 months in a Young Offender Institution for burglary, handling stolen goods and driving offences. Amy revealed that she suffered from a breakdown when he went to prison at the time. Dani Dyer Dani Dyer famously dated Sammy Kimmence before her appearance on Love Island, and rekindled their relationship in 2020. The couple have a son together, who was born in 2021. But Dani, 28, was left heartbroken when the former stockbroker was jailed for defrauding £34,000 out of two pensioners. He took money from the two men, aged 81 and 91, claiming he would invest it by placing horse-racing bets. Portsmouth Crown Court heard he instead spent the money paying off his own debts and funding his lifestyle. He was handed a three-and-a-half-year jail sentence in 2021. Dani split from the conman later that year after she claimed he had lied to her about his crimes.

The star is currently pregnant with her second child. Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips fell pregnant with her second child with boyfriend Billy Webb while he was still serving prison time. Billy was sentenced to nine years in prison pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5 kilograms of cocaine worth at least £360,000. He served 12 months, writes The Mirror. As Billy, who Shaughna shares her daughter Lucia with, had day releases from the open prison, TV personality Shaughna has been able to enjoy family days out with him over the last seven months. The 30-year-old star only recently announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Sunday morning. She exclusively told our sister the Mirror: "We're so happy to announce we are adding to our little family. "Lucia is going to be the best big sister and is really excited to have a new baby brother or sister arrive later this year." To announce the news to her fans, the mum-of-one shared an emotional reel documenting her finding out she was pregnant. The clip saw two pregnancy tests flash 'Pregnant', confirming her happy news, as she smiled for the camera. Her daughter was also spotted in the clip wearing a 'Big Sis' t-shirt. The back was decorated with the words, 'In my big sister era'. Shaughna later showcased her blossoming baby bump alongside the River Thames as she lovingly placed her hands on the bump while flashing a huge smile. Captioning her exciting social media post, Shaughna said: "Adding a little more love to our family..." Fans instantly took to the comment section to congratulate the star, with one writing: "So excited for you all. Very proud." A second added: "Congratulations. What a beautiful blessing." "Ohhh amazing news aww congratulations to you all," wrote a third. A fourth gushed: "So exciting! Congratulations." Shaughna welcomed her first child, daughter Lucia, in April 2023, with partner Billy and has often spoken honestly about her journey through motherhood. The father of her first child, Billy, was previously sentenced to nine years in prison but served 12 months in jail. Shaughna made sure Billy and Lucia maintained a close relationship as they visited him. She admitted she never thought she'd bring a child into prison. "I've been living in this weird life that I never, ever anticipated I would be living. "It's not ideal, this is not how I thought my life was going to be... The only thing that's difficult is that I need to bear in mind that one day, Lucia may listen to the words that I say, may read things that I've said." On her podcast, Oh Baby!, she explained: 'Before I was in this position… if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison… Absolutely not. And then, lo and behold, I'm now in this position.'

Grandad 'tortured' 2-year-old tot by making him 'put hands on head'
Ethan Ives-Griffiths was allegedly tortured to death by his grandparents after they forced the two-year-old to put his hands on his head for hours as they believed he 'needed to be disciplined'. A grandfather subjected his two year old grandson to torture, ultimately resulting in the youngster's death, by forcing him to hold his hands on his head for hours as a means of discipline, a court has been informed. Tragedy struck when little Ethan Ives-Griffiths collapsed at his grandparents' residence in Garden City, Wales, just two days prior to his passing on August 16, 2021. His grandparents, Michael Ives, 47, and Kerry Ives, 46, are currently on trial, charged with murder, causing or allowing the death of a child, and child cruelty, all of which they vehemently deny. The child's mother, Shannon Ives, 28, also denies causing or allowing the death of a child and child cruelty charges. During police questioning, Shannon agreed that her father's alleged treatment of Ethan constituted murder. She recounted that her father justified his actions by claiming Ethan "needs to be disciplined", prompting her to retort: "He's two!". Furthermore, it is alleged that a month prior to Ethan's death, Michael texted another daughter stating: "Ethan needs to learn the hard way". Following Ethan's collapse at his grandparents' home, he was initially taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital before being transferred to Alder Hey children's hospital on Merseyside, where he tragically passed away on August 16, 2021, reports the Mirror. On the 14th day of the trial, transcripts of police interviews were presented to the jury of seven women and five men at Mold Crown Court. In one such exchange, detectives inquired whether forcing Ethan to hold his hands on his head constituted torture. Note: The original content provided is a news report and contains sensitive information about child abuse and death. The rewritten text has been done in a way that maintains the same level of sensitivity and respect for the subject matter. Shannon responded: "Yeah, it is." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

When questioned by the police as to why she didn't report the incident, she stated: "Because I'm scared of my dad." Shannon described how her father, Michael, would force Ethan to stand with his legs apart and his hands on his head "for one or two hours". However, she acknowledged that she hadn't personally witnessed the entire two-hour duration. She claimed that if Ethan lowered his hands, her father would instruct him to put them back on his head. Shannon recalled: "My dad said 'He just needs to needs to be disciplined'. I said 'He's two!" Shannon noted that after Ethan's solo visit to his grandparents in June 2021, he experienced significant weight loss, transforming from "chunky to skinny" in a mere three to four weeks. She mentioned that his clothes became "massive" on him, necessitating the purchase of clothing for toddlers aged 18 to 24 months, as garments for "two to three-year-olds were too big". When Shannon inquired about Ethan's drastic weight loss, her parents allegedly claimed he was having "three or four meals a day". Shannon also confided in the police that she refrained from sharing her concerns about Ethan with a social worker due to her fear of her father Michael's potential outburst. She expressed her belief that "mainly my dad" was responsible for Ethan's injuries. Furthermore, Shannon, a recipient of Universal Credit and Child Benefit, suggested that her parents exploited her for financial gain. "They act like they care but they don't. They just want me there for my money - to use me. They're not family. They don't act like family." The court listened as evidence was presented that Michael alleged Ethan's behaviour deteriorated when Shannon began spending time at his place. According to Michael, Ethan would aggressively "ram" food into his mouth and often " choke". He maintained he was never harsh with the child, claiming that Ethan's laughter in Shannon's presence infuriated her, leading her to once exclaim "You need to f*** off in care, you little b******," as per Michael's testimony. During the afternoon session, the jury was privy to the police interviews with Michael Ives. He expressed remorse for lifting Ethan by one arm to put him into his car back in August 2021, admitting it was a " horrible" action. Michael continued to recount feeling nauseated by the memory of carrying Ethan from a trampoline during the same period. He acknowledged being there when Ethan experienced two collapses at their Garden City home on August 13 and August 14. However, upon being questioned by an officer, "How is it that little boy has been killed in your house?" Michael vehemently responded: "I don't know.... 100% on my life I've never touched him."
