Two people have been taken to hospital following a broad daylight stabbing on North End Road in Fulham, near Fulham Broadway London Underground station, prompting a major emergency response in West London this afternoon.
The incident unfolded shortly before 1pm on Tuesday, March 11, with the London Ambulance Service (LAS) confirming they were called to the scene at 12:58pm following reports of a stabbing.
One of the victims was treated by paramedics at the scene and rushed to hospital, while a second individual self-presented at hospital shortly afterwards, indicating they may have fled the scene before seeking medical assistance.
Emergency Services Flood Scene
An ambulance crew, advanced paramedic, and clinical team manager were dispatched to the area, which was quickly cordoned off by Metropolitan Police. A large emergency services presence was seen near Vanston Place, where traffic along North End Road was temporarily closed in both directions.
The road closure caused delays in the busy shopping area before it was reopened around 2pm, according to traffic monitoring service Inrix.
Witnesses Describe Chaos
Shoppers and passersby were left shocked as paramedics treated one victim in public view and police sealed off the area. A witness at the scene said:
“There were sirens everywhere, and we saw someone being helped into the back of an ambulance. It’s frightening to see this happening in broad daylight on such a busy road.”
Police Yet to Confirm Arrests
As of Tuesday evening, the Met Police have not confirmed any arrests in connection with the incident, and no further details about the circumstances of the stabbing or identities of those involved have been released. It remains unclear whether the two individuals hospitalised were both victims or if one may have been involved in the attack.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated:
“We are aware of an incident involving two individuals on North End Road, SW6. Enquiries are ongoing.”
