Two men and dog stabbed after fight in London

Two men and a dog were stabbed after a fight broke out in London.

Police were called to Peckham shortly after 11pm on Tuesday following reports of a group of men fighting.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said two men, believed to be in their 20s, were found with stab wounds outside the The Bradfield Club youth centre.

Sauyee said she witnessed the stabbing from her bedroom window:

The 36-year-old, who asked to be identified only by her first name said: “Yesterday at around 11 it was really noisy.

“I could hear lots of dogs barking and there was a big group of people who were fighting.”

She said several police cars and paramedics arrived quickly at the scene, adding that police were continuing to patrol the area.

Both men were taken to hospital, but one of the pair was deemed to be in a non life-threatening condition, and refused further treatment.

The other man remained in hospital, but was not thought to have life-threatening injuries, said The Met Police.

The dog, who also sustained stab injuries, is thought to be ok. 

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of affray.

Enquiries into the stabbings continue.
