Police have swarmed a busy London street after reports of a horror stabbing. One man has been taken into custody after the shock broad daylight attack in Frith Road, Croydon, close to a branch of Subway and a Holiday Inn hotel.<\/p>\n
Officers swooped on the street after being called to reports of a stabbing at 9.07am on Saturday. They have cordoned off the area, close to the town\u2019s Centrale Shopping Centre, while paramedics and the air ambulance also attended the scene. In a statement, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: \u201cPolice were called to Frith Road at 9.07am on Saturday following reports of a stabbing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers, the London Ambulance Service and London\u2019s Air Ambulance are in attendance.<\/p>\n

The latest incident comes just weeks after two murderers were jailed for at least 27 years after stabbing 22-year-old Rijkaard Siafa to death near Croydon\u2019s Surrey Street market on April 12 last year.<\/p>\n
Killers David Walcott, 35, and Rammon Mali, 33, went to the nearby Spread Eagle pub after the attack and bought three pints of Guinness.<\/p>\n
In September 2023, 15-year-old Elianne Andam was stabbed to death in a row over a teddy bear outside Croydon\u2019s Whitgift Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n
Hassan Sentamu, then 17, was convicted of her murder and will spend at least 23 years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police have swarmed a busy London street after reports of a horror stabbing.
