Two teenage girls have been arrested after a suspected stabbing at a Tube station.

Police were called to Seven Sisters station at around 8.45am this morning (July 23) to reports of a serious assault.

A man who was found at the scene with injuries consistent with being stabbed was rushed to hospital.

British Transport Police have said he remains in a life-threatening condition.

A woman aged 18 and a girl aged 15 remain in police custody having been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent.

The younger teenager has also been arrested on suspicion of common assault.

Seven Sisters station has completely reopened, but police enquiries continue.

Police have said they are interested in speaking with two men seen leaving the station down the A10 towards South Tottenham station.

Detectives believe they have information that could help their investigation.

Detective Superintendent Sam Blackburn said: “There is no place for violence on the rail network and detectives are working at pace to investigate the circumstances of this incident.

“Two people remain in custody following arrests made earlier today.

“The travelling public will see increased high-visibility patrols in the area and across the network as a visible reassurance.”
