The A11 High Road in Leytonstone, London, has been closed in both directions following a stabbing incident on Halloween night. The area between Crownfield Road and Belton Road has been cordoned off as police investigate the “horror” stabbing, which occurred late on Wednesday.
Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, and the road remain closed as forensic teams conduct their investigation. Authorities have not yet released details on the condition of the victim, and no arrests have been reported.
As a result of the closure, traffic diversions are in place, affecting bus routes 257 and 339. Commuters are advised to allow extra travel time and use alternative routes where possible.
The police are urging anyone with information related to the incident to come forward as they continue their inquiries. Further updates are expected as the investigation unfolds.
