No one has been arrested yet confirmed the force.
The nature and severity of the injuries are not yet clear, but police and paramedics descended on the suburban street quickly last night.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "Two 21-year-old men and a 20-year-old man were taken to hospital with stab injuries. We await an update on their condition."
The road was cordoned off for several hours while forensic officers gathered evidence at the scene.
Earlier reports on social media initially suggested a corrosive substance had been thrown at people on Station Parade at around 9.00pm, but cops clarified this was not the case.
Police confirmed they were called to multiple reports of a stabbing on the street, which runs adjacent to the London Underground station that serves the Jubilee Line.
Station Parade meets Walm Lane at the other end, by the station, which is where the commotion reportedly first started.
Specialist CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) responders were deployed but were later stood down after it was confirmed not to be a chemical incident.

Funeral home owner who stashed 190 decomposing bodies in abandoned building and sent families fake ashes jailed
Jon Hallford fleeced clients and splashed out Covid relief funds on luxury cars and laser treatment CORPSE HORROR Funeral home owner who stashed 190 decomposing bodies in abandoned building and sent families fake ashes jailed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TWISTED funeral home owner who stashed 190 decomposing bodies in a bug-infested building and handed grieving families fake ashes has been jailed for 20 years. Jon Hallford, co-owner of the Return to Nature Funeral Home in southern Colorado, was sentenced in federal court on Friday.

He admitted fleecing clients and siphoning nearly $900,000 in Covid-19 relief funds meant for struggling businesses — splurging the cash on luxury shopping sprees, laser body sculpting, flashy cars and cryptocurrency. His sentence is five years more than prosecutors requested, and double what his own lawyer pushed for. 'I am so deeply sorry for my actions,' Hallford told the judge. 'I still hate myself for what I've done.' He added that he opened the funeral home hoping to 'make a positive impact in people's lives,' but admitted: 'Then everything got completely out of control, especially me.' Bodies piled up 'like lumber' Hallford and his wife, Carie Hallford, who co-owned the funeral home, ran their grisly scam between 2019 and 2023. Investigators were first alerted in October last year when neighbours in Penrose, a tiny town two hours south of Denver, complained of a foul stench. Cops who turned up made a stomach-churning discovery — at least 190 bodies stacked atop each other in various states of decay, so badly decomposed that FBI agents had to lay boards over the sludge to navigate the rooms. Some corpses had been left there for years, including the body of Colton Sperry's grandmother who died in 2019. Chilling details emerge after number of rotting bodies found at 'green' Colorado funeral home rises to 189 In court on Friday, the young boy tearfully told the judge he fell into a deep depression when he found out. He told his parents at the time: 'If I die too, I could meet my grandma in heaven and talk to her again.' His father later rushed him to hospital for a mental health check, which led to therapy and an emotional support dog. Another victim, Derrick Johnson, travelled nearly 3,000 miles to tell the court how his mother was 'thrown into a festering sea of death'. 'I lie awake wondering: was she naked? Was she stacked on top of others like lumber?' he said. 'While the bodies rotted in secret, [the Hallfords] lived, they laughed and they dined. 'My mom's cremation money likely helped pay for a cocktail, a day at the spa, a first-class flight.' Two families even buried the wrong bodies after being sent urns of worthless dust — devastating relatives who said it destroyed their ability to properly grieve. 7 Authorities walk outside a closed funeral home where 190 bodies have been stored Credit: AP 7 Crews wade through the horror in Penrose, about two hours south on Denver Credit: AP Lavish spending spree Federal prosecutors revealed the Hallfords drained the pandemic aid and clients' money to bankroll a lavish lifestyle. They splashed out on a GMC Yukon and an Infiniti worth over $120,000 combined, snapped up Gucci and Tiffany jewellery, spent $31,000 on cryptocurrency, and paid for laser body sculpting treatments. The sentencing also included an order for Jon Hallford to pay more than $1 million in restitution — with $193,000 to be divided among the victims' families and the rest to the Small Business Administration. Hallford will serve his 20-year term concurrently with a state sentence expected in August, after he pleaded guilty to 191 counts of corpse abuse and hundreds of other state charges including forgery and money laundering. Meanwhile, his wife Carie withdrew her guilty plea in the federal case earlier this year and will now go to trial in September. She also faces 191 counts of corpse abuse in the state case. The pair were arrested in Oklahoma last November after going on the run. By then, the decaying funeral home had already been torn down. 7 Privacy fences are set up on the perimeter of the Return to Nature Funeral Home on October 9, 2023 Credit: AP

Cops billed me nearly £600 after taking away two stolen bikes for fingerprints – I'm absolutely fuming
A police spokesman said vehicle recovery fees are set by the government FEE FURY Cops billed me nearly £600 after taking away two stolen bikes for fingerprints – I'm absolutely fuming Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SHOCKED crime victim told how cops billed her nearly £600 after taking away two stolen bikes to check for fingerprints. Heather Hancox, 55, was charged £380 for uplift after they were found dumped — then £26 a day for storage. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Crooks pinched an off-road scrambler and an e-bike belonging to her son from their shed Credit: Paul Reid The mum, from Brechin, said: 'I'm absolutely raging about this. It's a lot of money. 'We were broken into yet we're being billed. Victims of crime shouldn't be treated like this. 'Why should we have to pay anything? We never asked for this to happen. Surely it's the thieves who should be penalised and not us?' Crooks pinched an off-road scrambler and an e-bike belonging to her son from their shed on June 4 before abandoning them. Heather said cops told her they were being taken away for forensics tests. She has now received a letter chasing payment on behalf of a garage in Forfar, with the total now £590. She added: 'There was never any mention of a cost being involved. 'If that had been spoken about then we would have taken the bikes away ourselves. 'But we were never given that option at any point. As far as we were concerned the police had to take the bikes and that was the end of it. 'We were told someone would get in touch with us about collecting them.'
