GREENWICH: Five young people stabbed at North Greenwich tube


Five young men have suffered multiple stab wounds in an apparent knife fight.

He added: "Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and on arrival found the victim, aged late teens/early 20s, suffering stab wounds.

"Four other victims, all male, aged late teens/early 20s, were also suffering stab wounds.

Presumably it was closed at 2am!!! How many staff do you expect when there's no train service?
