The first victim was knifed at 2.07pm on Thursday next to a community centre in Alcott Close, Feltham.

The suspect fled the scene. Six minutes later another two men were found with multiple knife injuries in Walsham Road, eight miles away.

Both victims received medical treatment with their injuries initially being treated as life-threatening or life-changing. They were then taken to hospital where their condition was confirmed as not life-threatening.
