Police have blocked Sumner Road in Croydon after reports of a stabbing today (Sunday 9 November).
Emergency services were first called to the scene at around midday. Traffic is moving slowly near Sumner Road and London Road, and police have blocked the road while the incident is dealt with.
The Metropolitan Police has not confirmed anything at this stage. While the London Ambulance Service believed it was a stabbing, it was reportedly an attack that allegedly did not involve a knife, so the exact nature of what happened remains unclear.
Sumner Road runs off London Road in West Croydon, close to the centre of the town. Drivers and pedestrians are being asked to avoid the area while the road remains closed. Two patients were treated, one discharged at the scene and another taken to a local hospital. Police have not said whether any arrests have been made.
The incident comes on the same day families of the seven people killed in the Croydon tram crash marked 10 years since the disaster, saying justice had not been served.
It is the latest police incident in the capital this weekend. A teenager was stabbed on Yiewsley High Street yesterday, and a 23-year-old man was taken to hospital with multiple wounds after a stabbing in Sydenham on Saturday.
