An Afghan asylum seeker has been arrested on suspicion of murder over a horror triple-stabbing in west London on Monday that left a 49-year-old dog walker dead, with police urging people to stop circulating brutal video of the incident.
The shocking scenes unfolded at around 5pm on Monday in Midhurst Gardens, Uxbridge, with police and ambulance responding to reports three people had been stabbed.
Three victims were treated at the scene. The 49-year-old died at the scene, while his dog was seen running around nearby.
A second man, 45, was taken to hospital with “life-changing” injuries. A 14-year-old boy was also taken to hospital with stab wounds but his injuries were confirmed to be neither life-threatening nor life-changing, the Metropolitan Police said.
The suspect, a 22-year-old Afghan national, was arrested at the scene after being tasered by police. He was taken to hospital as a precaution but has since been taken into custody.
The Home Office has confirmed the man entered the UK illegally via lorry in 2020 and was granted asylum and leave to remain in 2022.
“We are receiving regular updates from the Metropolitan Police,” a spokesperson said.
“The priority must now be for the police to investigate so those responsible can be brought to justice.”
Police said the attack was not being treated as terrorism, with investigators working to establish any relationship between the suspect and the three victims.
