A young man is fighting for his life after he was stabbed in broad daylight in Croydon town centre today.

It is believed the victim’s phone and watch were also stolen in the attack.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘He has been taken to hospital where his condition is currently being treated as life-threatening.’
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
Earlier today, a 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital in a critical condition after being stabbed shortly after 11am at the Broadwater Farm Estate in Haringey, North London.
Today’s two stabbings follow two murders in London earlier this week – of Santino Angelo, 18, in Newham on Monday, and Lee Casey, 39, in Brixton yesterday.
Those deaths took the capital’s 2019 murder count to 92 as politicians and police struggle to deal with knife crime in what has been labelled ‘Wild West’ Britain.
The spokesperson said: ‘Three males [no further details] have been arrested on suspicion of GBH and taken into custody.’

Images taken by witnesses show the large cordon which has been erected on High Street.
A spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said of the most recent stabbing: ‘We were called today at 5.27pm to reports of an incident on Croydon High Street.
‘We sent ambulance crews and an incident response officer to the scene, with the first of our medics arriving in three minutes.
‘We treated a patient at the scene and took him to hospital.’
One witness said the stabbing happened outside Memory Box, on the High Street.
Another said police dogs have been searching gardens in Salem Place, a short walk from the High Street.
