A man has been arrested after two other men were injured in a late-night attack in west London.

Police said the suspect, aged in his 30s, had been detained on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and remained in custody.

Officers were initially called to reports of a stabbing on Uxbridge Road, near Shepherds Bush station, shortly before 4am.

When they arrived they found two men, both in their 30s, suffering from injuries “consistent with an assault”. They are now investigating how the men were injured.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said they were both taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

A cordon remained in place at the busy junction on Thursday morning as police officers scoured the scene. Passers-by reported seeing blood and first aid kits on the pavement.

Two lanes of Uxbridge Road were taped off approaching the Southern Roundabout, causing delays to traffic.

The Met spokesman said: "Police were called at approximately 03:53hrs on 13 September by the London Ambulance Service [LAS] to reports of a stabbing on Uxbridge road, W12.

"Two males aged in their 30s were found with injuries consistent with an assault. They have both been taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries."

He added: "One male, aged in his 30s, has been arrested close to the scene on suspicion of two counts of grievous bodily harm [GBH]. He remains in police custody at this time."
