Emergency services were called to Midhurst Gardens, Uxbridge, at 17:00 GMT on Monday<\/p>\n

A dog walker has died and another man has been seriously injured in a triple stabbing in west London.<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old, who has been named locally as Wayne Broadhurst, was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. A second man, 45, was hospitalised with life-changing injuries and a boy, 14, sustained non life-threatening or changing stab wounds, police said.<\/p>\n

An Afghan national, 22, was Tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder at Midhurst Gardens, Uxbridge, at 17:00 GMT on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Home Office confirmed the arrested man entered the UK in a lorry in November 2020, was granted asylum and leave to remain in 2022, and does not live in Home Office accommodation. <\/p>\n

He was taken to hospital as a precaution but has since been taken into police custody, the Met said.<\/p>\n

The attack is not being treated as terrorism, and detectives are working to establish any relationship between the suspect and the three victims, the Metropolitan Police said.<\/p>\n

Candles were lit and flowers were placed at the edge of the police cordon<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, about 100 people held a minute’s silence by the cordon surrounding the scene.<\/p>\n

They applauded at the end and the group started to disperse shortly after.<\/p>\n

A large group of men, women and children laid flowers at the junction between Midhurst Gardens and Leybourne Road, and some lit candles.<\/p>\n

One person was fatally stabbed and two were injured, the Met said<\/p>\n

Footage posted online appeared to show the suspect walking along a residential street, before two police officers sprinted after him, one pointed a Taser and shouted “drop the knife” and “get on the floor”.<\/p>\n

Several others joined them before the Taser was fired and the man fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

Ch Supt Jill Horsfall said: “This was a shocking and senseless act of violence that has left one man dead and two others injured.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.”<\/p>\n

A man is in police custody following the triple stabbing<\/p>\n

She added: “The incident will have understandably caused concern to the local community. <\/p>\n

“I have deployed multiple officers to the local area, they will be here throughout the week to provide reassurance while detectives work intensely to piece together the circumstances.<\/p>\n

“I understand that there has been a lot of speculation online following on from this incident. We ask that you rely on us for information, and that you do not share sensitive footage.”<\/p>\n

The family of the deceased man have been told and are being supported by specially-trained officers, the Met said.<\/p>\n

Flowers were left at the edge of the police cordon<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, a neighbour in Uxbridge said the man who died was a bin man, and described him as “the last person on Earth that you would think somebody would go for”.<\/p>\n

“He’s a bin man. I’ve been here two years and would see him walk past the window,” she said.<\/p>\n

She added that on Monday he was “just doing the normal dog walk he does every day.<\/p>\n

“I still can’t get over it. If he was five or 10 minutes later taking the dog out would the same thing have happened?”<\/p>\n

She said she took some flowers and a box of shortbread over for his wife.<\/p>\n

“Everybody’s scared”, says Uxbridge resident after triple stabbing<\/p>\n

Four bunches of flowers were left near the police cordon, one of which was placed by a female neighbour from a nearby road who did not wish to be named.<\/p>\n

She said: “Last night the police came down my road… I thought to myself ‘oh my God I wonder what’s happened’.<\/p>\n

She said she found out what happened early on Tuesday which made her feel “absolutely sick”.<\/p>\n

She added: “The area used to be lovely, over the years it’s really gone downhill.<\/p>\n

“I just thought I’d come down and put some flowers down for the family.”<\/p>\n

‘Horrendous’<\/p>\n

Another woman, who did not want to share her name, told BBC News: “The man that was stabbing random people chased after two of my son’s friends but they managed to escape.<\/p>\n

“It’s horrendous and just on our doorstep. It’s frightening – my daughter couldn’t sleep last night because she thought the man was going to come and attack her.”<\/p>\n

Robin Stevens, 50, who lives on the other side of Midhurst Gardens, said he heard a lot of sirens on Monday evening and he found out what happened on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

He said he was “shocked”, adding: “I grew up on this street, I’ve lived on this street for 50 years and I’ve always known it to be quite a family orientated area.”<\/p>\n

Wisam Salah, 18, who lives near the cordon, said “everyone is really panicked” after the incident.<\/p>\n

A Home Office spokesperson offered sympathies to those impacted by the “horrific incident” and are being updated by the Met as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

“The priority must now be for the police to investigate so those responsible can be brought to justice,” they added.<\/p>\n

Anyone who saw or has information about the incident are asked to contact police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jess Warren,BBC London and Aurelia Foster,BBC London George Tryfonidis\/BBC Emergency services were called to Midhurst Gardens, Uxbridge, at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-534193","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115454246811106488","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
