Four individuals were hospitalised following a knife attack on Bromley High Street in south London. Police and paramedics responded shortly before 2.30pm, treating the victims before transporting them. London’s Air Ambulance was also dispatched to the scene as crowds gathered by a police cordon.

Sir James Cleverly, the Conservative front-runner for the 2028 London mayoral election, emphasised the need to address public safety concerns as crime fears persist despite declining statistics. He committed to tackling petty crime and enhancing late-night transport to restore London’s appeal amid rising living costs.
