A man has died in a triple stabbing at Parsons Green station in London.

One man died at the scene and two others were taken to hospital, London Ambulance Service said.

Emergency services were on the scene on Monday evening and police cordoned off the area.

Eyewitnesses saw the victims being given CPR on the pavement.

The stabbing is not terror-related and no arrests have been made, Scotland Yard said.

A spokesperson for the London Ambulance Service told the Press Association: “We sent two ambulance crews, a first responder in a car and an incident response officer to the scene. A team from London's Air Ambulance was also dispatched to the scene by car.

“We treated three patients at the scene. We have taken two patients to hospital as a priority. Sadly one patient died at the scene.”

Hammersmith and Fulham Police issued a statement which said: “One of the injured males, a man believed aged 20, has since died. Next of kin have been notified.

“The remaining injured males continue to receive treatment. We await further update on their conditions.

“Cordons are in place and Parsons Green Lane and the LT station remains exit only to Kings Road.”

There have been no arrests and enquiries continue, the statement added.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information should call Hammersmith and Fulham Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
