Five hurt after suspected stabbings near Croydon Asda store

A man has been arrested after five people were injured following a suspected stabbing near the Asda Wallington superstore in Croydon.

Police were called to Marlowe Way, Beddington, this morning at around 10.20am after receiving reports of a stabbing in a warehouse.

Five people were treated for injuries by the London Ambulance Service, with one taken to a major trauma centre and the other four taken to hospital.

Among them was a 54-year-old man, whose injuries are reportedly non life-threatening.

An LAS spokesman said: “We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer, members of our tactical response unit and London’s Air Ambulance.

“Our crews treated five patients at the scene, before taking one to a London major trauma centre and four to other hospitals.”

The Met has yet to comment on the incident.
