“The severity of the victim’s injuries is not known at this time.

“Cordons are in place around Binfield Road.

“No arrests have been made. Enquiries are ongoing.”

A spokesman from Go Ahead London, who operate the garage, added: "I can confirm the incident took place close to, but off-site from, Stockwell Garage and it was a non-bus related matter, in that it didn't involve any members of staff or passengers.

"Local bus services are also operating normally."
