Two men fighting for their lives after suspected stabbing in Erith

Two men are fighting for their lives after a suspected stabbing in Erith, south east London.

The police said the men had been hurt "after an incident in Alexandra Road" and officers were carrying out "urgent enquiries".

Officers appealed for anyone with "phone footage" of the incident to contact them.

The air ambulance and two London Ambulance Service (LAS) crews attended the scene shortly after 1pm Wednesday.

An LAS spokesperson said: "We were called today at 1:08pm to reports of a stabbing on Alexandra Road, Erith.

“We sent a number of resources to the scene, including two ambulance crews and an advanced paramedic.

"We also dispatched a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance.

“We treated two people at the scene before taking them to a major trauma centre.”
