A man is in hospital after being stabbed and slashed outside London Victoria rail station.

Police said the victim was apparently attacked with a broken bottle during a fight at about 8pm on Monday evening.

Paramedics treated the man at the scene before taking him to hospital. Police could not immediately provide an update on his condition.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of GBH, Scotland Yard said.

A spokesman added: "We were called at 8.10pm to reports of a fight on Buckingham Palace Road.

"Officers attended and found a man suffering from stab and slash injuries."

He said the wounds were consistent with those sustained from a "broken bottle".

Part of the bus station adjacent to the rail hub was cordoned off while police scoured the crime scene for evidence.
