A man has been arrested and is fighting for his life after two people were stabbed at a hospital in London this afternoon.
Armed cops descended on Central Middlesex Hospital in north-west London and locked down the area after two people were stabbed around 1.18pm on Wednesday.
A man was arrested outside of the hospital with life-threatening injuries which are believed to be self-inflicted, the Metropolitan Police said.
The first person has injuries that are being treated as life-threatening but the second victim’s injuries are not. The force said the incident is not being treated as terror-related.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “Officers will remain in the hospital as further searches are conducted but at this time they are satisfied that no one else is sought.
“Police are working to establish the circumstances. At this time the incident is not being treated as terror-related.
“The hospital was temporarily locked down but has now reopened and will be operating services as normal. There is a heightened police presence at the hospital while we investigate.”
