Two men are seriously injured in hospital today after they were stabbed in a central London street.

Police said the men are in a stable condition in hospital today.

The London Ambulance Service Joint Response unit posted a picture from the scene on Twitter and said: “Working on the same radio channel as @MPSIslington meant a quick response to a person stabbed. A&E as a priority.”

Anyone who witnessed the stabbing, which is being treated as a suspected GBH incident, is asked to call police on 101.
