Two 18-year-old men have been arrested after allegedly stabbing each other during a violent fight on a west London bus.

The Metropolitan Police were called just after midnight on Wednesday, May 21, to reports of a stabbing near the junction of Uxbridge Road and Harlington Road in Uxbridge.

Double Stabbing on Route 427 Bus

The two teenagers were reportedly involved in a physical altercation aboard a 427 bus, during which both sustained stab wounds.

While neither injury is life-threatening, one of the men’s injuries is believed to be life-changing, police confirmed.

Both individuals were arrested at the scene on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and taken to hospital for treatment.
