THE London Ambulance Service said yesterday a man was killed and two others injured following a stabbing incident outside the Parsons Green Tube station in the city’s southwest, China’s Xinhua news agency reported.

The attack happened shortly after 7.35pm as the last wave of commuters journeyed home from work.

The three victims, all male, were treated at the scene, and one was taken to hospital.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “Officers are responding to an incident at Parsons Green, where a number of males have suffered stab injuries.

“Police were called at 7.37pm on Monday, October 16, to reports of a stabbing outside the Parsons Green Tube station.”

Police and paramedics were currently at the scene at Parsons Green Lane, and both the road and tube station were shut off by officers, police said.

What happened at Parsons Green was not being treated as a terror-related incident, said the London Ambulance Service.

The knife attack comes a month after a bomb exploded at the District Line station during the morning rush-hour commute into central London.

Despite the home-made bomb’s failure to fully detonate on September 15, some 30 people were injured in the blast.

Police made at least six arrests in connection to the botched bomb plot. – Bernama, October 17, 2017.
