A man was found with stab wounds and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. A man in his 60s was arrested at the scene on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assaulting an officer. Earlier this month, Kilburn was the scene of a separate double stabbing, one of which also occurred next to the North London Tavern.
Two Teenagers Stabbed in Acton
Just hours later, police responded to another stabbing in Acton High Street at around 5:30pm. Two boys, aged 14 and 15, were treated at the scene before being taken to hospital. Fortunately, their injuries have been confirmed as non-life-threatening.
