Emergency services were alerted to the attack at 1.04pm on Monday. Upon their arrival at a local business on Long Lane, they discovered that four individuals had been stabbed.

A 58-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene and a 27-year-old man later died in hospital.

Police have detained a man in connection with the incident, who is now in a critical condition in hospital.

The fourth man reportedly sustained injuries which were not life threatening.

The horrifying incident has left the community shaken, particularly after a nearby nursery was plunged into lockdown.

One mum told of about the horrifying moment that she heard about the stabbing near Long Lane in Southwark.

Opting to remain unnamed, she informed MailOnline: “[The nursery] sent us an alert while I was at work, notifying us of a stabbing and that the roads would be cordoned off.

“It’s terrifying. As I headed to the nursery, I tried to gather information on whether the attack was targeted or random because you often hear about stabbings in London.”

She added: “It’s really shocking. To have this in an area where I’m raising a child makes me worry that I shouldn’t be living somewhere like this now that we have a family.”

Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: “Our investigation is in the early stages and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances of this shocking incident.

“At this point, we do not believe it to be terrorism-related and there is no further risk to the public.

“There will be a heavy police presence in the area throughout today and I would encourage anyone with information to speak with officers or contact the Met by other means.”

At the time, a spokesperson for London Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 1.04pm today to reports of a stabbing on Long Lane, SE1.

“We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, advanced paramedics, incident response officers, a command support vehicle and paramedics from our tactical response unit.

“We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance, which consisted of a paramedic and a doctor in a car.

“We treated four people at the scene. We took three patients to major trauma centres as a priority.

“Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a person was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Police are now appealing for more information about the incident and have urged anyone with more details to phone 101, quoting CAD3499/28.

Alternatively, witnesses can contact the Met Police online.

Natasha Ennin, Southwark Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Neighbourhoods, shared that the Council were “horrified” by the attack.

She said: “I’m horrified and deeply saddened by the deaths of two men in our borough today.

“My heartfelt condolences go to their families and friends. Police have launched a murder investigation and have said this evening they do not believe the incident to be terrorism-related, and that there is no further risk to the public.

“If you can help police with information please call 101 or report online.

“There are extra police in the Long Lane area this evening and we will remain in close contact with police as they continue their investigation.”
