Three men injured after being stabbed six minutes apart in Feltham

Three men have been rushed to hospital after two knife attacks within minutes of each other in west London.

The first victim was stabbed at 2.07pm on Thursday next to a community centre in Alcott Close, Feltham.

The suspect fled the scene. Six minutes later, two other men were found with multiple knife wounds on Walsham Road, eight miles away.

Both victims received medical treatment and their injuries were initially considered life-threatening or life-altering. They were later taken to hospital where their condition was confirmed as non-life-threatening.

No arrests have been made so far.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said there did not appear to be any connection with the general election or any activity at a polling station.

She said: “Police were called to Alcott Close in Feltham following reports of a stabbing.

“He was taken to hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

“Six minutes later, police were called to Walsham Road to reports of a stabbing at the scene.

“Upon arrival, officers found two men with stab wounds. They were both taken to hospital. Their injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

“The crime scenes remain in place. Investigations are underway to establish whether the attacks are linked.”
