Westminster Police confirmed that a stabbing took place, cordoning off the crime scene and closing down the street to traffic until 6 am. They have also enforced a Section 60 order, which allows police to carry out “stop and search” efforts in a designated area.
A Section 60 has been authorised from 0117 hours until 0600 hours by Insp HUGHES. The authority is for North Westminster. This is due to a stabbing that occurred on Edgware Road.
