Southwark: Two men killed as four people stabbed in attack at business premises in central London
Two men have died after four people were stabbed at a business premises in Southwark. Police were called at 1pm on Monday after multiple people were assaulted in Long Lane, SE1. A 58-year-old man died at the scene in central London and three others were rushed to hospital. A 27-year-old man later died from his stab wounds. A man in his thirties who has been detained in connection with the incident remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital. Another man in his thirties remains in hospital and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing. A witness living in the area told the Metro newspaper that while working from home with their windows open, they heard someone outside saying, 'in a deep, shallow voice: 'Help me'.' They explained when they were returning home from grabbing some lunch they saw paramedics attending a 'clothless man on the ground, who seemed to have a wound on his right side of his body, around his chest area or slightly below'. The witness explained he heard the man moaning and he was transferred onto a stretcher alive after around 30 minutes. One concerned mother who lives nearby told MailOnline how she heard of the stabbing through her child's nursery, which is just minutes away from the scene of the stabbings. She said: 'It's really shocking. To have this in an area where I'm raising a child makes me worry that I shouldn't be living somewhere like this now that we have a family.' Councillor Natasha Ennin, Southwark Council's cabinet member for community safety, said: 'I'm horrified and deeply saddened by the deaths of two men in our borough today. My heartfelt condolences go to their families and friends. 'Police have launched a murder investigation and have said this evening they do not believe the incident to be terrorism-related, and that there is no further risk to the public. If you can help police with information please call 101 or report online. 'There are extra police in the Long Lane area this evening and we will remain in close contact with police as they continue their investigation.' Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: 'Our investigation is in the early stages and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances of this shocking incident. 'At this point, we do not believe it to be terrorism-related and there is no further risk to the public. 'There will be a heavy police presence in the area throughout today and I would encourage anyone with information to speak with officers or contact the Met by other means.' A London Ambulance Service spokesperson added: 'We were called at 1.04pm to reports of a stabbing on Long Lane, SE1. 'We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, advanced paramedics, incident response officers, a command support vehicle and paramedics from our tactical response unit. 'We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London's Air Ambulance, which consisted of a paramedic and a doctor in a car. 'We treated four people at the scene. We took three patients to major trauma centres as a priority. Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a person was pronounced dead at the scene.' Anyone with information can call 101, report online or contact 'X'@METCC and quote CAD3499/28.
