Police and ambulance crews were called at around 5pm on Monday to Midhurst Gardens, in Uxbridge, where the three victims were stabbed.

A 49-year-old man was treated at the scene but died, while another man, aged 45, suffered life-changing injuries. The teenager's injuries were not life-threatening or changing.

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.
