Daytime stabbing leads to the closure of tube station

A man has been taken to hospital after a stabbing at Goldhawk Road Underground station.

The knife attack happened at 1pm this afternoon and the man’s condition is unknown.

Another man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder.

Toman, who works at Two Wheels Only, a motorbike repair shop on the Railway Arches close by to Goldhawk Road, told Metro he saw ‘quite a few’ emergency service vehicles.

He said: ‘We are quite a distance away from where it happened but I saw a lot of blue flashing lights.

‘It is all currently cordoned off and it looks like they are still waiting for forensic officers to arrive.

‘I saw quite a few emergency service vehicles in the area, including police, ambulance and air ambulance.

‘This is the first time something like this has happened around here other than a crash that happened the other day.
