A teenage boy has been left fighting for his life following a triple stabbing in Harrow on Wednesday evening.
Police and ambulance services rushed to Northholt Road at around 4pm on Wednesday, after they received reports of an altercation outside a local address.
When they arrived, emergency services attended to multiple stabbing victims.
A 15-year-old boy is thought to be in a life-threatening condition following the attack, while two 16-year-old boys also suffered injuries but were later discharged from the hospital.
An investigation is now ongoing into the incident, with another 16-year-old boy reportedly arrested overnight and taken into custody.
On Wednesday, eyewitnesses reported on social media that around five police cars attended the scene, and police cordons were set up around multiple shop fronts.
Videos from the scene featured a number of police officers standing by the cordon on the corner of Northholt Road.
The Met Police later confirmed in a statement that the scene cordon remains in place as enquiries continue into the incident.
“Officers were called to a reported altercation outside an address in Northolt Road, Harrow at 16:00hrs on Wednesday, 5 March,” a spokesperson said.
