Two bouncers stabbed outside Vauxhall nightclub in central London

Police have appealed for information after two bouncers were stabbed outside a London nightclub.

The attacks on the men, who were both in their 20s, took place outside Fire in Vauxhall during the early hours of Saturday morning.

Scotland Yard said officers were called to the scene in Parry Street by paramedics at around 1.40am, following reports of a fight.

The two men were found with serious stab wounds and have both been taken to hospital, where they remain in a serious but stable condition.

Road closures were put in place near the club, situated beneath the railway arches by Vauxhall station, while police carried out their investigations.

Police said there have not yet been any arrests and the incident is not believed to be gang-related.

Roy Smith, chief inspector of Lambeth borough police, said in a statement: "I urge anyone who has any information in relation to this incident, no matter how insignificant you may feel it to be, to contact us.

"Police officers responded within minutes of the call being received and there will be an increased police presence in and around Vauxhall this weekend."

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is urged to call Lambeth CID on 020 8649 2191 or via 101. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
