A passenger was stabbed in front of horrified rush hour commuters this morning after a fight broke out at London Bridge station.
Police and paramedics raced to the southbound Northern Line platform just before 7am today to reports of a fight.
When they got there they found a man with stab wounds.
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of affray. The incident is not thought to be terror-related and the victim’s injuries not life-threatening.
The altercation is believed to have broken out after two people got into an argument on a train, before it spilled out onto the platform.
