A man has been arrested after a man was stabbed to death and two others, including a 14-year-old boy, were injured in West London.
Police and ambulance crews were called to Midhurst Gardens in Uxbridge, where three victims were stabbed.
The 49-year-old man, who was treated at the scene, died.
While another man, a 45-year-old man, suffered life-changing injuries, the teenager’s injuries were not life-threatening or changing in nature.
The Metropolitan Police said a 22-year-old man, an Afghan national, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

“If anyone saw the incident or has information about the incident, please contact police. We would welcome any information you may have.”
