Two people have been rushed to hospital after a stabbing outside a popular London Underground station.

One witness at the scene told MyLondon they had seen “quite a bit a blood” on the pavement in the area outside Harlesden station, northwest London.

Several London Underground and Overground services have been suspended as police inquiries continue.

The force received calls of two males with stab injuries on Windrush Road and Mordaunt Road, both near Harlesden station, just after midday on Tuesday.

Both males, neither of whom were identified, have been taken to a major trauma centre, the ambulance service said.

Police did not offer any more information regarding the severity of their injures, and said they were awaiting assessments of their conditions.

There is currently no service on the Bakerloo line between Queen’s Park and Harrow & Wealdstone stations. Overground services between Watford Junction and Euston have also been suspended.

The Metopolitan Police said enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing and a number of crime scenes are in place.
