On the evening of 15th April a video had emerged on social media which showed two youth groups fighting on the street on the Northholt Road in South Harrow. The footage that was re-tweeted by the Harrow Police showed one of the gang members picking up a weapon and slamming it on the ground amidst shouting and fights.
This was followed by the closure of the underground station at South Harrow and one of the teenage victims being stabbed multiple times.
An eye witness described the fighting as ‘frightening’.
According to the witness- “I would say there were two groups of around 10 involved. At least one guy had been hurt, possibly badly. Several ambulances arrived first, before any police arrived.”
Harrow MPS later tweeted about the incident as follows- “Officers are on scene at High Street, #Wealdstone #Harrow following reports of a teenage male being stabbed multiple times. His condition is currently unknown, a crime scene has been put in place. Please avoid the area whilst officers investigate the incident.”
