Man in his 20s killed and three others injured after multiple stabbing in Lawless London The Sun

A MAN was killed and another three men injured in a stabbing attack in East London this morning.

The man, in his 20s, was found with fatal knife injuries - with two men arrested at the scene on suspicion of GBH.

Met Police said they had been called to the scene on Buckle Street just before 9am today.

A spokesperson said: "A male, in his 20s, was found with stab injuries. Despite the efforts of emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Enquiries are ongoing to inform his next of kin.

"Three other males with stab injuries were treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital."

Officers from the Specialist Crime Command have now launched an investigation as forensics examine the scene.

It comes as the capital continues to be gripped by a spate of fatal attacks this year.

A teen was stabbed to death in East London this week - found with stab wounds in Ilford on Wednesday night.

And a 40-year-old man died after being shot in the head in East London this week.

The man was found collapsed in Nelson Street, Whitechapel, late Tuesday night - tragically dying in hospital Thursday morning.

Last year was London's bloodiest in a decade - when the number of homicides reached 132 - with 110 violent deaths as of September 29 this year already.

Twenty-one teens have been killed in the capital this year, 19 of whom were fatally stabbed.

The capital's knife crime is at a record high – with more than 15,000 offences recorded.

In one attempt to tackle the violence, hundreds of life-saving bleed control kits have been given to London bars and pubs to treat stab victims. 

The kits can save time, until paramedics arrive, and prevent bleeding leading to a fatality.

Contained in a bright red bag, those applying first aid can use trauma bandages, tourniquets and adhesive chest seals to treat stab wounds, or gunshots.

The life-saving ‘Bleed Control Kits’ have been given to late-night venues in the Square Mile initially, and are expected to be rolled out to other areas in the capital.
