One dead in Parsons Green stabbing

- By Ross Parker

A MAN has died and two others were injured after being stabbed outside a Tube station in West London.

The attack took place outside Parsons Green station, where 30 people were injured in a terror attack last month.

London Ambulance Service confirmed last night that one man, thought to be in his 0s, had died at the scene and two other victims were taken to hospital. Police were called to the scene at 7.37pm. Officers said they did not believe the stabbings were terror-related and no arrests had been made.

A spokesman for the ambulance service said: ‘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.’

Parsons Green Lane and the station were both closed by police while an investigat­ion took place. Millie Lloyd wrote on Twitter: ‘Came out of Parsons Green Tube station 30 minutes ago to the aftermath of a stabbing. Three bodies receiving CPR. Station now shut and road closed.’

Ahmed Hassan, 18, is accused of attempting to murder people on a train at Parsons Green after leaving a homemade bomb by the doors on September 15.
