A man is fighting for his life in hospital after a stabbing on Westminster Bridge, the Metropolitan Police said.
Officers were called at about 10.45am on Sunday after a fight reportedly broke out on the bridge in central London.
Met Police attended with the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance, and found a man suffering from a stab injury.
He has been taken to hospital in a critical condition, according to officers.
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and one person has been arrested on suspicion of affray. Two of them have been taken to hospital for minor facial injuries.
A road closure is in place on the bridge and police have said inquiries into the incident are ongoing.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
