Police are searching for a man who killed two people and wounded another in south-west London early on Friday morning.

The incident happened on the edge of Clapham Common in London’s east.

Two men aged 24 and 30, who were both known to each other, were stabbed to death at the scene and a man was also stabbed.

A 24-year-old man and a 30-year old man were taken to hospital in serious condition.

Both men were from the east of the capital and had lived in the area for a number of years, police said.

“A 26-year, white man aged about 25, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm,” a statement from the Metropolitan Police said.

It is believed that the victim and the offender are friends.

Police said the suspect was arrested by officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Command.

More to come.
